Ninjatrader application stopped working

[mmrwhite]

Hello Jason,

Thank you for your quick support!

I was looking to trace and log files to send it to you and discovered that they were each 3GB in size!

When I deleted them (forcing to create new ones), NT7 successfully started - this issue looks solved now.

Visibly something happend and NT7 created huge log/trace files and was unable to process it at open.

Hello Leo,

Dear Jason,

It looks like I have the same issue - the NT7 is starting, but no window is shown.

When I look to the taskmgr, I see that Ninja is consuming more in more RAM, until it occupy it all (8GB).

I'll send you my trace and logs.

Can you please take a look as it impacts heavily my analisys/trading process.

Thank you,

Leo

Hello cnecorp,


Thank you for the follow up.


Testing this further I was able to successfully resolve the situation by removing the Install.xml file from the NinjaTrader 7 log folder:

• C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\NinjaTrader 7\log

Uninstall NinjaTrader from the Windows Control Panel > Add Remove Programs


Then ensure that the NinjaTrader 7 folder was deleted from:

• C:\Program Files (x86) or C:\Program Files

Then reinstall the latest release of NinjaTrader.






In regards to excluding a certain update on Windows update, you can review the Microsoft Technet post at the following link for more information:

Please let me know if I can provide any further assistance.

Hello alchemist,


Thank you for the follow up.


I would not expect the log and trace files to be this large especially after just installing NinjaTrader.


We can setup a remote support call to investigate further.

If you are not running Windows 8 then the situation you are experiencing may be different.

Thanks Ryan
Its great to have professional support like Jason and you on our side.

MicroSoft must be the biggest propagator of unintended viruses around. It was just pure luck that I was not in a live trade.

It was indeed KB2836988, NT came right up straight after uninstalling it.

Thanks again.

Hello cnecorp,


Thank you for the follow up.


Do you know if Windows updates were recently installed on your Windows 8 PC?

Specifically we would want to check to see if an update (KB2836988) was installed on your PC.
To view your update history

1. Open Windows Update in Control Panel by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or, if you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking Search), entering Windows Update in the search box, tapping or clicking Settings, and then tapping or clicking Install optional updates.
2. In the left pane, tap or click View update history.

If you can locate this KB Update you can troubleshoot the situation by uninstalling this update and retesting to see if NinjaTrader is able to successfully launch.




I look forward to assisting you further.

Hi Jason
No there were no new log or trace files created. Only thing that happened was a Windows 8 patch.
I don't have a restore point that I know of.

Badly need help on this one.

Will try the repair, have to go to work shortly, will post the results soon.
