"With HUGE volume on AAPL and RIMM for 2 days, everyone in a trading room was whining about freezes, crashes and lag with *******, RealTick, TS and Cyber. InvestorRT with IQFeed was rock solid. I mean SOLID!" - Comment from Public IRC Chat

"I noticed that ******* quotes locked up shortly after the interest rate announcement yesterday while yours stayed stable." - Comment from Ron in Utah

"I was on the phone with a friend who uses CQG and right after the Fed announcement, CQG was as much as 30 seconds behind DTN.IQ. Some quotes were off by as much as 15-18 cents. Your feed never missed a beat." - Comment from Roger

"I started a trial a few weeks back before the market went wild. DTN.IQ didn’t miss anything and beat my other provider. I decided to stay with you because of the great service through all the volatility." - Comment from Mike

"I ran your IQFeed DDE vs. my broker vs. a level II window for some slow-moving options. I would see the level II quote change, then your feed update instantaneously. My broker's DDE, however, would take as much as 30 seconds to update. I am not chasing milliseconds, but half a minute is unacceptable." - Comment from Rob

"This beats the pants off CQG, I am definitely switching to the ProphetX 3.0!" - Comment from Stephen

"This is an excellent value, the system is generous (allowing for 500 stocks) and stable (and really is tick-by-tick), and the support is fantastic." - Comment from Shirin via Email

"Thank you so much - awesome feed, awesome service!" - Comment from Greg via Email

"IQFeed version 4 is a real screamer compared to anything else I have seen." - Comment from Tom

"I will tell others who want to go into trading that DTN ProphetX is an invaluable tool, I don't think anyone can trade without it..." - Comment from Luther

Author	Topic: Windows 2000 problems? (7 messages, Page 1 of 1)
labragg1 -Interested User- Posts: 4 Joined: May 12, 2005	Posted: May 12, 2005 04:42 PM Msg. 1 of 7 Anyone else besides me having problems running DTNiq on Windows 2000-based systems. When I try to log in it just errors out. It has IE 6 SP1 and the latest SP4 for Windows 2000 installed. I have no problems logging in on Windows XP-based system that have IE6 SP2. Any suggestions or work-arounds?

I would guess it is more of a system/firewall issue as opposed to the operating system itself. Can you provide some details regarding the exact messages you are getting while trying to login on the Win2k machine? Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets

The only major difference that I can see is that the win2k system is IE 6 sp1 and the winxp system is IE 6 sp2. Also it is Windows 2000 PRO, not Server like your system. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Win2k Pro won't be an issue, neither will IE. DTN.IQ doesn't require IE to operate and thus the version of IE won't have any effect on its operation. As for the network, I understand that each machine connects to the same firewall. However, each machine also has software based firewalls or TCP/IP filtering capabilities. They are pretty crude in Win2k, so I doubt it is an issue, but thought I would mention it. Also, we have had users who used to have software based firewalls such as ZoneAlarm which, even after uninstalling, left a corrupt Winsock that caused IQ to not work. Again, the exact error messages you receive may help identify a place to look. Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets

IQ encountered the following error while connected to: 5020 Error #10061: Connection refused. The weird thing is that I tried the software on another Windows 2000 system configured with the same identical service packs, etc, and it works fine. What am I missing???
