Call stack :

Possible solutions in no particular order:

Go to folder ../metatrader/profiles/
edit the file lastprofile.ini and set it to a profile that you know works.

If you don't have any other profile besides 'default' the you can delete the files in ../metatrader/profiles/default/
This will remove all open charts from the profile.

or

Reinstall MT4. Does it work then?

Then

Add the indicators you use until it crashes. You now know which indicator/EA is the culprit.

Delete all the *.ex4 files of the custom indicators you add so MT4 is forced to compile them.

Newer indicators/EAs compiled on latter versions of MT4 (>=build 4.00?) are known to crash earlier versions of MT4.

Not quite top quality software, but as they say: If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. They do deserve some credit. I'd rather use MT4 than a lot of the uncustomizable custom trading software some brokers offer.

try to update your MT4. (LiveUpdate)
the latest build now is 40x (400 onwards)

I have tried to find out how to live update it, but to no avail. My current build is 221. Anyone have a link?

Thanks for the response!

There should be is a file named 'LiveUpdate.exe' in the root folder of your mt4 installation. Run it.

c:\program files\mbt metatrader 4\LiveUpdate.exe

Not trying to sound ignorant, and I do appreciate the help, but when I went to the root folder, I saw an application for it, and a folder that says LiveUpdate. When I open the folder, its empty:-(

I do not know what kind of update procedure MT4 had for build 221. Maybe it differs from what they use today.

Why don't you just download a new copy and install it in a different folder.
Then you can copy the folders
../experts
../history
../profiles
../templates
to the new installation to restore your settings. You will need to know the user/password for the old installation to login again.

Or, after you install the new version, copy the liveupdate.exe file to your old installation and run it to start the upgrade process on the old installation.

Whatever you do, make a backup copy of the mt4 folder first. Just copy all the files from the MT4 root somewhere else.

Was MT4 running correctly before you added custom indicators? If so it seems something in those indicators is the problem.

Reinstalling over the existing install may not work because MT4 will not wipe out any indicators you have added and they may be the cause of the crashes.

If this is a broker-provided account, go to control panel and uninstall MT4 and start with a fresh install from the file your broker supplied.

Then carefully add your custom indicators one by one until you find the culprit that's crashing your system.

And think about getting rid of Vista

normally, the LiveUpdate auto-runs when u open your MT4.
it doesnt, in your case?

also, look for the LiveUpdate application (it has an icon of a PC), not the liveUpdate folder. double click the former.

Appreciate the help!

I noticed this happened when I installed an indicator, which I hear works perfectly fine on build 399.

It does auto-update when I first turn the platform on, but it doesn't update the build.

I have the mt4 platform for MBT, should I redownload it from their site? or should I download it from the mt4 site and copy over the auto-update? Well I will try this to see this solves the update build issue.

I would uninstall through Vista via Control Panel and reinstall from the file you got from your broker - otherwise you will still have the suspect indicator in your system. If Live Update is not upgrading your build you need to contact MB Trading and see if they can give you some guidance...

my guess is one of your new indicators or EA's uses a DLL? try disabling data execution prevention. probably the EA was coded a bit sloppy

google "Vista disable DEP", tons of how-to's

Thanks everyone!! its fixed and ready to go!

Back to the Ichimoku charts!

i had this exact same problem about two years ago.

i took the following steps to resolve the problem;

i cut up all of my credit cards.

i told my dog to run away from home.

i crashed my car into a very large tree while driving backwards.

i got onto craigslist and called about a hundred hookers over to the house.

and, yes, i caught the clap.

no, i did not visit a doctor.

i moved to another city.

i changed my name.

i took up skydiving.

i saved my indicators to a floppy.

i entirely erased my current mt4 installation.

i reloaded a fresh installation of mt4.

i reloaded my indicators, one by one, until the problem resurfaced.

btw, my preference is to load mt4 directly off of the root directory.

c;\forex
c:\ibfx
c;\oanda

that kind of thing..

the end..

How did you pay for the hookers without your credit cards ?

Good old CASH.... the wife see the CC Statments

i have mentioned in my primary thread, bottles and cans, that i studied intelligence and belief systems, as part of this forex project, so one time i sat down and called a bunch of hookers off of craigslist.

i was holed up in a motel trading and had some time to kill, lol..

i am not sure what i learned, if anything at all, but it was fun..

one chic, sorta hot, but not too bright, emailed me what she called an invoice, i was supposed to fill it out and sign it and send it back to her prior to her actually coming out to service me. pretty much, she was wanting me to agree to pay mileage for her trip to my location, she quoted me a price per mile.

over somewhere around london, i saw some chics asking for literally thousands of dollars per night.

the erotic services section at the craigslist website has since been closed down.

not only did i study the hookers, but i also surveyed the mainstream females that were looking for a new boyfriend in the dating section of craigslist.

the mainstream females wanted, for the most part, good chemistry, stability, and they make it clear from the beginning that if you are just looking for sex then just forget it and move on..

the hookers are just the opposite, they say just bring me a hundred and fifty bucks and you can do whatever you want for thirty minutes.

what a contrast.

How can I possible stop this &*()&*() mt4 I installed in my mac from crashing

My mt4 (fusionmarkets) on Windows 10 x64 keeps crashing without any errors or any messages or sounds whatsoever. It completely closes in a fraction of a second. It's not hanging or "not responding", it just closes instantly. Mostly when I do backtesting of some EAs. Utterly annoying.
