Has anybody experencienced a color freeze?

New comment
 

I cannot change the color of anything in my charts, not lines (horizontal, vertical, trend or other), not candlesticks and not indicators. I can highlight the line and the color selection palate comes up, but when I select an alternate color it will not allow it and it remains the current color. I have reinstalled the MT4 platforms (into new directories) and it has made no difference!! I use 3 brokers, so I repeated it with the other brokers (Alpari and MBtrading (beta tester) and all 3 have the same issue. It makes me think that it is a Windows Vista problem. I run Vista 64bit Home, 4 gig of ram, on a Toshiba.


Has anybody ever experienced this? I am a very experienced user of MT4 and at a total loss for why this may be occurring. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated if anyone else ever has a similar issue.


Thanks in advance,

Only way I can change colors is by using decimals e.g. 50,50,50 or color Name, I use XP sp3.

I suspect that i occurs when adding certain, ea, scripts or indicators, but do not know which one

I am aware that other users have the same problem.

 

I have exactly this problem.

Do we know a solution by now ?

Thank you for your help

I suspect that this issue has been resolved by the user during the 3.5 years since he reported it.

OK,  tell me exactly how to reproduce this issue and I'll report it to Metaquotes for you.
 
Don't install in \program files* on Vista/win7
 

I can not describe it better than this:

I work on XP and have different MT4 brokers, the rest is the same.

I had no issues before. And I have not changed anything knowingly.

Does MT4 use any framework from XP for the color palette ? Like .net ? 

 

@WHRoeder I am on XP. TY for your help

OK,  I tried that and I was able to change the color of a horizontal line . . .  so it doesn't tell me how to reproduce your issue.

Perhaps you could explain what you have done to try and resolve your problem ?   what build are you currently using ?  have you tried a fresh install with standard templates and no Indicators, EAs or scripts running ?
