Paul do you have a link to that forum?
Thanks for the reply. Am registered in the "Technical Trader private forum". But, am unable to find the thread/post relating to this topic. Should I make a post directly in the private forum for the same? Please guide me. Thanks.
Thanks "gc1" & "Trader333" for the helpful tips. I checked the threads out, used search command for the "Technical Trader" forums and got many threads. Then, did search command for each of those threads also. Got lot of useful information relating to "windows" but not to "Windows 7".
Thanks so much for the help. Can I ask the following:
Has anyone used TradeStation on Windows 7?
Have asked the same in the "Technical Trader" forum in the following thread:

I had installed on 64 bit, but it was'nt happy with that so,
I reinstalled on 32 bit which was much better, but I still had a few problems...I eventually contacted
hyperserver support who sorted it out in around 10 minutes flat....
and I got on with trading, now it works fine, but to be perfectly honest,
you can't beat Win XP Pro.....
( I have another copy installed on another hard drive as backup )
you may want to check the user account control settings or turn them off as they gave me problems as I believe they restrict you from installing items

Thanks, wheezergeezer
So, it seems not to work on 64 bit, but it seems to work on 32 bit, after you sort out a few things? Am I correct?
Banter,
the code for 2000i, was probably written for 32 bit machine's, there were few 64 bit machine's around then ! ( I'm just guessing that's the case) I'm not saying that it won't work on a 64 bit platform either, but the guys at hyperserver support have all the updates etc....it makes life a lot easier as they do it day in day out....its there business..
but good luck,
Wouldn`t it work via VMware? I think about installing a slim 64-bit OS with only VMware installed - and installing different VMs with different OS (Win98 - Win2k - WinXP) and utilizing such a VM with a 32-bit OS for installation of legacy trading software.

Hittfield, I'm not to sure what VMware is...(virtual machine) ? but as I said in ealier posts, 2000i works very well with XP Pro and Win 7, I did have a few problems with the 64bit version but they may have been because of me being a bit thick !
as for Win98 & Win2k, I personally would'nt recommend or use those old O/s

Hi Paul,
yes I have Tradestation 2000i installed on Vista (home Ed.) on a laptop it performs ok,
I dont like vista that much, but I prefer to use a desktop pc as there is more Ram and power in general ie, 2 monitors, faster processor...etc
finally I have 2 copies of 2000i installed on two hard drives, one running XP Pro and the other Win 7....a bit excessive but I had a motherboard burn out and nearly catch fire a year ago so hence the caution, Regards, john
