Kayak,

I will pass your comments on to the tech guys,

Ian

As an enhancement to post 17 one could have an additional filter to filter out routine RNS announcements, i.e. remove:

Rule 2.10
Rule 8.1
Rule 8.2
Rule 8.3
SAR 3
SAR 5
Section 11
Section 198
Listing Rule 15.4.10
EPT Disclosure
Holding(s) in Company
Net Asset Value(s)
Blocklisting Interim Review
FRN Variable Rate Fix
Transaction in Own Shares
Portfolio Update
Cancellation
Major Interests
Official List Notice
Disclosure Table
Notice of Results

This would allow the window to be kept closed and only to pop up with potentially important news.

It would be sufficient to have a tick box for all of them. E.g. four tick boxes:

1. RNS and RNS equivalents excluding routine announcemnts
2. RNS and RNS equivalents routine annoucements
3. AFX
4. AFXU

Again, this all applies to the streaming news page too.

Kayak post 20 would be useful

Sorry to be stupid, but how do I check that I've done everything correctly? How do I get the News Alert box up on my screen?

Maggot,

You should see a little icon down on teh left hand side in your system tray. If you right click on this you will see some options - one of which is show window - if you click on that it will bring up the box.

Ian

Should also add that if you haven't already opened it you will need to go to programs and open it from there,

Ian

Nope. Cant find the Systems Tray under Systems. But have got newsalert1 and newsalert2 on the desktop, the first of which which requires me to download .NET Framework version 1.1.4322. Is that it?

Maggot,

Do the following -

Once you have downloaded the application, click on start and then on programs and look for a new program called MoneyAM.com news alret. Clcik on this

It will takle a few seconds to start up and you shoudl then see down by the clock in the right hand corner of your desktop and little blue MoneyAM icon.

This is the icon I was referring to - you should now be able to right click on this as I was saying before. YOu can edit the stocks you are watching by clicking through from the original link in this post.

Ian

Thanks. Is it the basic .NET Framwork 1.1 I should download first? There are so many options.

If you click on the download the latest version link it should give you just 1 option which you need to then open when prompted.

Ian

No, I'll not bother. It keeps directing me to Windows Update which tells me no updates are available. Can't find a 'latest version' link anyway. But thanks for your help.
I've got XP Pro - is this different to ther versions?

MAggot,

I am not sure what is going on but here is the direct link to download the news alert service. Try clicking on this and let me know what happens:

http://www.moneyam.com/newsalert/newsalert-1.0.28.0.msi

IanT. Done that. I've already saved this to disc, and have the icon on the Desktop.

Maggot,

Do not select save - simple select open this should then put the download in your programs from where you can do what we have discussed before,

Ian

IanT. The problem may have been that I had opened Moneyam via Mozilla Firefox and not IE. I did not have an open' option available. I've now opened it via IE and at least have three options: Run, Save, or Cancel. I presume I need 'Run?'

run is the one

i am being very dim i think but how do i populate my watchlist into this? or even add a single epic?

ta

T

Oh, no. Back where I started. The message when I click Run is that I require .NET Framework 1.1. This directs me to the MSN site, but no-where for me to actually download it - it says I must go through Windows Update, and this gives me Express Install Recommended and Custom High Priority and Optional Updates, both of which say nothing is available.

"I don't believe it!"

Maggot,

Please read the system requirements listed in the pastel coloured box in the post. You *require* microsoft's .Net framework for this program to run. The link to download it is in the 'system requirements' box.

Please let me know how you get one once this has been done.

Treblewide,
Please go to the NewsAlert page and you'll see a box in the middle of the screen that you can use to put in your epics.

J.

Think I may have found it - it was hidden in Select Optional software updates. Now downloading - 21 minutes.
