dwt1020 -Interested User- Posts: 2 Joined: Apr 6, 2008	Posted: Apr 6, 2008 01:21 PM Msg. 1 of 3 Just bought a new laptop with Vista Home Edition. Installed Sierra charts using IQFeed and it takes almost 2 hours to download the historical data. At first I thought it was the wireless connection but using hardwire same results.... On my desktop running XP SP2 same feed it only takes a few minutes. I tried running IQfeed and Sierra Charts as XP compatible but didn't make a difference. Anyone else seen this and have a fix? I have also posted this same question to Sierra Charts folks... thanks in advance david

If you can check the system properties (Right click on Computer under the Start Menu, and left click on Properties), it will say computer towards the bottom of the window. Here it will list what sort of processor you have and how much RAM. What does it show there? Vista is very memory heavy, so it may be that what you have is not sufficent. There are quite a few things that could be causing the long download time, so it may be easier for you to email us at support@iqfeed.net or call 1-800-763-9959 for help. Kind regards, Sarah DTN Trading Markets
