Have the following: 8x21"CRT's, W2000, 3gigRam, 30+ open charts, Matrox G550AGP, 2xNvidia NVS400 PCI., Pagefile set to over 10,000 (largest available)
When wanting to enlarge a window (maximize) the image, (at a certain point) will not get larger even though the window is now maximized to the edges of the screen (just empty space and/or part of the wallpaper fills the other part of the enlarged chart/window, past the point where the content only extended to), only when shrinking the window back again (at a certain point) the image will shrink with it, but not enlarge. (After a re-boot the charts behave fine for a while, until I open/close other applications and/or copy/paste to clipboard, then gradually charts won’t maximize again)
This problem (enlarging/maximizing) does not happen when running Excel (etc.) or SuperCharts at the same time, but does appear in eSignal and IQTrader (my Broker’s OrderPlacement platform, which is also controlled by eSignal datafeed and uses streaming application protocols).
DirectX, (I have the latest version April2006), and just realized last 24 hours, I think that is where the problem is. When running “dxdiag” (START-RUN) and test for the DirectDraw and 3D, during the test all eSignal charts turn white (on and off) except for Excel, SuperCharts, etc., and after the test is completed (with no errors), I get back some of the resources and I can/might be able maximize my charts again, but only for a little while; then back to same problem again.
Have also downloaded the DirectX control panel 9.0c which allows tweaking lots of settings, but Google searches say “don’t touch, unless you know what you are doing”.
What I am looking for, is the correct settings for DirectX, as I belief, a too slow or too fast GraphicsCard “interface”/”setup”/”configuration”/”Windows-controlled”/”set-parameters” need to be balanced just right. Too slow, charts draw sluggish, too fast > can’t handle situation and/or the above.
My Thoughts are that DirectX is controlling/handling the setup too fast/incorrect for eSignal charting situation.
Does anyone have solution and/or knowledge of DirectX, or any other suggestion?
(By the way, did have all Matrox cards to start off with [thinking it was Graphics Card problem], then replaced all Matrox with Nvidia, but NO difference at all.)
