Post From: Frequent Connecting Issues; Not Allowing Second Instance when No Second Instance is Open

Hi,

Over the past week or two I am getting frequent issues connecting with the message box that pops up reporting that a Second Instance is not being allowed but I am only using one Instance of Sierra Chart.

Some times it attempts to reconnect 2 or 3 times and works, today it has just been failing for 10 minutes and just connected as I am typing now.

I have updated to the latest software earlier this week incase that was the issue. I am running Ver. 2930

This is a copy of the message log when its failing to reconnect. Perhaps worth nothing that all other Internet connections are fine, only Sierra Chart is effected.
