Hi I have more than sufficient space around 50GB. I am using Win 8.1

I had done a clear but the problem still persists.. Is the prog compatible with win 8?

Hello,

Can you please send us bug report if it appears again? It will help us to fully understand the problem.

Forex Tester is fully compatible with Windows 8 and 8.1

Maybe, some data files were damaged in your program. Please try to reinstall Forex Tester into another folder (like, C:\ForexTester2New), this should help.

Hello,

You can also download historical data from our site as text file and then import this text file with data into Forex Tester using "Import from a file" button in Data Center window.
You can download historical data here: http://www.forextester.com/data/datasources.html
Are you able to import these data into Forex Tester? Or you have the same error?

Do you use any antiviruses? Please try to turn it off and download historical data again.
