NT freezes up halfway through opening

[Penelope]

I use NT Simulated Trading. The splash screen comes up, then the Control Centre window. The splash screen indicates "restoring workspace", it loads a couple of charts and then stops before completing the task and nothing else happens. I can't click on 'file' or anything else - it's all frozen. In Task Manager it shows "Running" status. The only way to clear my screen is to select Control Center in Task Manager and then click on "end task". I've tried to open up NT several times and the same thing happens every time today. Should I uninstall NT and start over? If you say I should uninstall, is there some way I can save my Forex (thru Gain) historic data before uninstalling?

Hi Vincent

I seem to have fixed it by going to remove programs and clicking on "repair". Now it's working fine. I've managed to open NT, go online to Gain and the charts are all working up to date so I haven't lost any historical data. Fingers crossed it will continue to work fine........

So once again I'm a happy Ninja Traderer!
