IB TWS's forced upgrade (deadline 20061222)

Quote from Tech Analysis:

I lost all my damed settings now. I AM SICK OF THIS ALREADY.

Did you try File-->Restore Settings (from a previous day) - or did that not work?
 
I got a parsing error. I tried all the settings.dayname.xml files; none worked.

Fortunately I take screenshots of my layout periodically and using column width and RGB settings was able to spend 30 minutes premarket restoring my platform.

Time well spent.

:mad:

could it be that you were using a pretty "old" version (like i did)?

if so - you have to update it not by using the update feature - you have to install the new version all over the old one.

i did this today - looks good so far.
 
I was forced to upgrade last nite due to old version, and the new version cost me thousands as i was short ZB and could not get out for an hour and 10 ticks off/above the lows, IB has thier IPO coming and Im leaving... good riddens IB. They force you to upgrade and thier newestversion has obvious flaws.! A-Holes
