Running version 1505 service pak 3

Here are my problems. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

1. When creating new historical stock chart using SC Data, takes 3 minutes to load chart.
2. Using SC Forex Data, historical charts take minutes to update AND there is no real time data.

Thanks again for your help!

We did not hear anything back about these:

1. When creating new historical stock chart using SC Data, takes 3 minutes to load chart.
2. Using SC Forex Data, historical charts take minutes to updatePresley

If they are due to a high CPU usage problem, refer to help topic 30:
