Can anyone help with this issue please?
I have in the past been able to use my trix indicators on my Windows 7 MT4 platform. I think the problem started after a recent Windows update after which I couldn't view any of my trix indicators.

The indicator appears on the Indicator List , it just doesn't show on the chart. I've spent 2 hours chatting with the IFBX agent to try and rectify this problem but so far - no cigar.

Anyone have any solutions for this?

Windows 7 is unlikely to be the source of the problem. I and many others are running MT4 on Windows 7 with no problems.

The problem is likely related to how you migrated from your old system to the new one. Did you recompile your custom indicators code? What build is MT4? What about "normal" indicators like MA and MACD?

No I have not recompiled any code. As a matter of fact these indicators were working fine up until the time my Windows was updated.
The problem seems only to affect the trix histograms.

Maybe a case of windows 7 applying 'folder virtualization' to the file system. Follow these links for more info:

Windows being updated. Do you mean that after upgrading to Windows 7, things were working fine and then stopped when an update was applied? Did you reboot after the update? I have had problems with other programs (not MT4) with updates until I rebooted.

If you run out of options you can:
Turn of UAC.
Reboot.

Does it work then?
- Yes: The problem is folder virtualization.
- No: The problem is something else.

Turn UAC back on.
Reboot.

Yes the problems started after my recent update and no I didn't reboot after the update as I figured the update would refresh the next time I switched on my laptop. Coming to think of it, I had major problems trying to start up my laptop immediately after the update.
