Hi,

Anytime I open ES chartbook the software freezes. I thought the file is corrupted so I opened CL Chartbook and tried changing the symbol from the Chart settings by selecting the ES symbol, soon as I do the software freezes. All other symbols seem to be working normal.

Thanks

We want you to delete the ES Intraday chart data file.

Here are instructions:

This is not likely to make any difference but also update to the latest prerelease of Sierra Chart by following these instructions here:

If there still is a problem, then refer to help topic 30:
High CPU Usage | Inactive User Interface | Poor Performance | Long Time to Load Chart Data | Charts Reloading Often

Hi,

I tried all recommended. Still same issue once ES is chosen to be loaded. I had the same issue with ZN and other rate symbols so I stopped loading them. Now the rates work and ES does not.
I deleted the original Chart Book. Opened a new Chart book and duplicated NQ file to the new chart book, then I select the ES symbol from the Chart Settings window.
Soon as I click the apply button sierra chart freezes and on the computer task manager it shows CPU usage going to 100% and shows Sierra Chart "not responding".

Also when I download the current version 1309 from software everything works just the way it used to however when I open the software it shows the 1307 version.

For the record, the problem was that your hard drive was giving this error:
Data error (cyclic redundancy check). For reasons which we do not know which would be operating system related, this was what was causing the high CPU usage.
