I have no problem with Trade Station since I went to a 2 computer set up. I put only charts on my larger computer and do all my surfing, chatting and emailing on the other. If you use IB it conflict with TS badly. So when I need to use IB, I put it on the emailing computer.
Well, at least I am not hanging over the rail of my boat!
XP has a built in Java conflict that caused my computer to crash when I had to put in the newest edition for IB's endless upgrades.
I run the IB program on my older one with ME and it runs just fine. I have redone it so many times it is ridiculous.
Less hassle having 2 computers.
