speaking of pea brains, I'm trying to pick the bottom using 125% of last years range...surely a hair brained scheme at best...
I like it! My kind of play!

Just try a search for what you are naming it then.

Press the Windows start button...enter the name in the search box and see what comes up.

"open charts," was it?
tried.. and all i got was a stained tee shirt and the clap.

Crazy!!! Have never seen this happen before...ever! MT4 is a bucket o'shite and all...but it will generally put Templates in the templates folder, and Profiles in the profiles folder.

I'll look where Markus was suggesting, but have NO idea why it would only be sitting there. Are you on Windows 7?

Fakking bizarre! Windows 7?

Have heard of MT4 doing funky shiz if it is in the Program Files folder, but never experienced it first hand. May be worth moving the whole folder out of Program Files to see if it helps.

Close it. Drag the entire folder to the Desktop, or into the same folder your new one is in. In fact, you could try saving a profile in your new MT4 and see if it works in that location first. Don't worry about what charts are up or anything...it will just create a folder with the chart info within.

What a fakking nightmare. Whole thing should have taken 5mins tops. Bastards!

Going to involve showing hidden files and folders.
Hi Ken,

do not know if I understand the problem properly,

but


on many systems, the privat data of MT4 like templates, profiles, experts etc. are not stored under C:/programs/MT4 or so, but stored in the

C:/users path like above mentioned


That is a bit curious, because with that you have on your hard drive two similiar looking directorys at two different palces

c:users works with win 7.. from what i see gator is using an XP. shouldnt have the problem.

The best way is:

1. grab the USB, copy the F** folders there,
2. go to C:\
3. make an folder GatorMT4
4. make 2 subfolders under that folder [ie. Meta1, Meta2]
5. install a fresh installations into those folders.
6. go inside those folders and create a shortcut from terminal files on to your desktop
7. now use the USB and copy your expert, template and profle folder from USB to each folder
go to desktop
run the shortcuts..

see if you are happy now..
