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.

ok no probs

Treblewide,

It is likely that Desktop NewsAlert will have similar restrictions to stockwatch, when it's released from beta (so a 250 stock limit)

However that won't be decided until we've seen the kind of load that it causes :)

J.

The program doesn't delete its temporary file if it is closed automatically on Windows shutdown. It does delete it if closed manually.

There should be another release of this software by the end of the week that fixes a few of the outstanding bugs.

it should alert you when there's an update.

J.

Kayak,

What temporary file are you talking about? The program doesn't create any...

J.

Yes it does... in /WINDOWS or /WINNT/TEMP. I know it belongs to it because when I close it normally it disappears.

What's it called?
