I don't understand this either, but I am running Windows me.

I turned the zone-alarm off, and page changes were instant (this is great). When I turn it back on, the first two or three changes are instant, then it is back to 15 seconds until I turn it off again. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the input. At least I have a few things to try now. Actually, I may have to wait until Monday. I am using Zone Alarm, and having other applications running (or not) doesn't seem to change the problem. Thanks again for the help. Any other input would be appreciated. I'll post...

Can anyone help me with IB pages? I have a PIII 750 computer with 256ram and cable modem. I use the installed TWS, and it takes me about 15 seconds to switch from one page to another using the tabs. Does this seem normal? It would sure be nice to switch pages quickly. Any suggestions? I...

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Thanks for the information. I'll have to start watching the pre/post market.

I am a little confused by my first experience trading after hours (other than some select-net trade with a broker a few years ago). I was offering BEAS at 25.54 at the close on IB's best-ecn (well above the close). I was rather surprised when it sold, and decided to check some of the other...

I would like to know what a bullet is too.

I use a Gateway notebook to trade, and use an additional monitor. I have separate windows open on each screen. Windows 98 and ME will accomodate this as will my machine (standard video card). I know for certain the new compaque notebooks will allow this too (I tried it when I was shopping). I...
