My setup is a MacBook Pro 2.33 Intel Duo (I do a lot of graphics in my day job). I am running Windows Vista Business in a Boot Camp partition, meaning I am booting into Windows; NOT into Mac OSX and then virtualizing Windows. I could do that via VmWare, but I'm afraid the performance would take a big hit--the MacBook only allows 2 gig of ram. However, within Windows Vista, I am running Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 (free) and a licensed (yes its true!) copy of Windows 2000. Under this virtual machine, I am running OT 2006, which as described earlier in the thread, won't run under Vista. I had to assign 1024 megs of ram to the virtual machine, and 1024 of virtual memory (set as both min and max) to get it to run, but now it is blindingly fast. What took 30 minutes on my old laptop (1.66 AMD chip) takes about 3 minutes even under the virtualized machine. Unbelievable. Makes me wish I could get my old MetaStock DOS formulas working ....but I digress... Now the glitch, and maybe someone from Nirvana could weigh in--I am probably missing a simple check box. On the old laptop, OT will run its thing, then show all the signal results. I have it sorted by signal, so I see all my candidates right at the top. On the Macbook, only some of the signals show up--until I do a search for a symbol and chart it. Then the signal shows. I ran identical scans on the old and new laptops, to check OT's consistency. The old showed a lot more signals, until I started searching and charting, then the signals all showed up, one equity at a time as I charted them. So, OT is giving the same signals. but something in the virtual setup is not showing them. Any ideas? I have also tried running OT 2007/2008, but I don't get the same result as 2006. 2006 gives me great signals, I just wish I could duplicate them in 2008. | |
