Have just upgraded (downgraded?) from XP to Vista. Then had to upgrade Bullcharts 3.4.1. to 3.6.7. Install appears to be successful, tho it didn't proceed as per the hand-out (eg didn't ask if I wanted to install Microsoft.NET Framework 1.0 package). After completing installation and updating historical database etc and then attempting to open it I get the main screen but when I type in a stock code I get: "A problem was encountered while trying to load intellichart file: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" then "Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application" I have then uninstalled and reinstalled (precisely following instructions) and am back with the problem ....which also prevents getting out of Bullcharts via "close" or X-box (the error message re-occurs). I used Ctrl/Alt/Delete then swear profusely!!! Any solutions?

warlock,
Interesting way to spend your summer holidays... getting your old software to work with the new operating system...
Me, I will wait till enough people say how great the old software works with the new operating system. Vista is still a long way from that point.
Your best bet at this stage is to email Brendon at info@bullsystems.com. He usually responds quickly to emails (but not to posts on the forum). Assuming he is not away on his holidays, he will have someone sort out a solution pronto. At least it should be more productive than your sworn testimony.
Regards,
BD

I have Vista on my main PC and have been running BullCharts in a VMWare virtual machine with Windows XP. Obviously this is a bit of a pain, but at the time I went to the new PC, there was no vista-compatible version of BullCharts available and it seemed to be my only option. I've regularly checked the Bull Systems website for a new vista-compatible version of BullCharts, but the "latest" version available for download still seems to be 3.4.1. I don't recall receiving any correspondence from Bull Systems advising that a newer version was available, which is quite disappointing given that some of you are obviously running a version later than 3.4.1.  Can someone tell me how to obtain the latest version if it's not available from the website please? |

Hi "Investfor wealth". My original woes began with an XP update to Vista. I contacted Brendon who sent me Version 3.6.7. However it still didn't work. Even "run as administrator" didn't work (thanks michaelandnet). This was a problem not with Vista per se ... but upgading new software on an old computer (bad move!!!!). My solution has been a new laptop running Vista Ultimate. Loaded Version 3.6.7 and opened as "administrator". Works fine!!!! Restored my problematic desktop to XP via full re-format and installation of old Bullcharts 3.2.0 and it now behaves perfectly as well. Regards, Warlock.
