BullCharts 3.8.6 & Windows 7 HELP!!!

Robert Brain (Brainy)

   Just installed the 3.8.6 disc. 

Bullcharts definately doesn't like Windows 7 64 bit.

Everytime I change a symbol in main window, i get a pop up saying windows encountered a problem.

Everytime i try to insert an indicator to main window a pop up tells me bullcharts needs to close.

When I try to exit bullcharts I get a pop up message saying windows encountered a problem, I have to close that pop up 3 times before bullcharts closes down.

There is no point in further continueing with all these errors. 

This is really annoying guys.

	uninstalled Bullcharts about 5 times now including disabling microsoft .NET framework 3.5.6 in windows 7 and installing framework 1 from microsoft website. i cannot come up with any solution to make bullcharts work on my PC. perhaps bullcharts developers can come up with a more stable version soon? Windows 7 ultimate 64bit CPU = AMD Phenom II x4 Quad Core 3.2 Ghz 4 GB DDR3 RAM memory Geforce 8600 GTS Graphics Card Motherboard = Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3

	It had something to do with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. Also your earlier bullchart templates will not work unless you get them converted by the Bullcharts team.

	Bullcharts popped up an error tonight telling me it couldn't find microsoft SQL server studio.. it asked to reinstall, but didn't like it .. I'm still not convinced bullcharts likes windows 7.

	I have been using Bullcharts on windows 7, 64 bit for a long time (over a year) now with no problems. I remember having installation problem initially (something to do with SQL) but Day at bullcharts was extremely helpful in resolving it. Its been a smooth run ever since.

	I think its the dam SQL server problem. Windows 7 decided to update SQL server pack 3 or 4 not long ago which has now resulted in problems with bullcharts. I opened Bullcharts today and it is working perfectly again.... go figure. Edited by Chris_R - 18 Mar 2011 at 4:05pm

	Hi Chris_R, Sorry for any misunderstanding, but this BullCharts Forum is not monitored by BullCharts staff. It is intended for discusison amongst the user community. Having said that, the BullCharts staff in Sydney are always very happy to help with any problems at all. The best way to contact is either mailto:info@bullsystems.com.au or by phone (02) 9884 7622 [this number is on the web site).

So, the problems you have encountered are not normal. If not resolved yet, please contact the Sydney office for quick assistance. Cheers

	So what versions of SQL and .net are recommended for Bullcharts? I'm upgrading my system soon and usually I just use the latest versions on Microsoft's website. The versions on my CD may be outdated.
