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.

cheers dude...knew i was being stupid

IanT. I've succesfully downloaded NET Framework 1.1, and have found Moneyam.com News Alert in the Programs. I've clicked, and it requires me to put in my Username and password. Is this right so far?

Maggot - all correct so far - now just enter your regular moneyam username and password and carry on

Ian

YEEESSS! Got the window open; thanks IanT. So rom the blurb at the top of this thread do I not have to open the window each morning? It reads as if it will automatically pop up whenever one of my companies has an RNS or AFX news alert?

Maggot,

It should just keep on running for you - unless you close it down, but it will then log you straight in when you go back to progams and start it again.

is there an easy way to populate all AIM stocks into this without finding them all and putting them all in individually?

Treble,

There is no direct link to be able to do this on the the news alert at the moment, you could use the stock screener to get the list and paste and copy it into there, but It would be a rather long list - around 1084 different stocks.
