IB question

[hoodooman]

Is anyone trading with IB using a windows 98 operating system. Regards and happy new year.

YES

thanks. I got frozen out of my account, awhile back. Never could find out the reason. So I closed my account. I assumed my operating system was the problem.

There are many, many reasons why you no longer want to be running Windows 98. IB is the least of your problems.

I can't think of any. Since I reinstalled my operating system, it works flawlessly. Care to elaborate?

Lack of support by many applications and support organizations, including Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=6513).

Well I am using it, and usually run TWS + AmiBroker + IE without problems.
