META TRADER 4 KEEPS RESTARTING IN WINDOWS XP

If you work in forex business you must be familiar with application MT4 (Meta Trader 4), this application is used to do all of things in this business online. You can buy or sell stock or currency, just with one click. Very effective and great application, that’s why it is now become one of a standard application used for forex company in the world.

This application is updated automatically as most great program does, and for last week something happen with all of the computer running Windows XP. I know, it’s a little weird, but some people just can’t let go this Windows XP for some reasons. Some people think Windows XP is so light and they don’t want to buy new version of Windows, or they don’t want to upgrade their PC, or sometimes they just don’t care about anything but this application running. Well, about last week, I don’t know which update triggered it, but all of the computer using Windows XP keep restarting when try to open MT4 application. At the first I thought that this must be a problem with hardware, until I found out that all computer is having the same issue. It keeps restarting once you click to run MT4. Well, after some effort I tried and information from Metaquotes, finally I found the solution for this problem, which what we have to do is just upgrade the service pack to version 3 or SP3. You must download the offline installer version though, since Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, where you can’t update it online.

Well, after you upgrade it, everything is running normal again with MT4, although I’m not sure how long, so still, upgrade the Windows version is the best way to anticipate another problem like this in the future.
