Problem selecting ENSIGN Playback in the Preferences, Datasource menu.

I just downloaded and installed (fresh) "BT070130a53_951.exe" as well as the BTLinker files (BTLinker.spt and BTLinker1.lib).

I'm using Ensign version "09-12-08" on XP SP3.

I followed every step from this link http://www.bracket-trader.com/ensign.htm

After step 10: "click ENSIGN Playback in the Preferences, Datasource menu. Ensign Playback must not be in pause mode at this time. " I get a message saying "Start Ensign Playback with BT Link first".

Since I did all the previous steps, BTLink is on the chart, playback is running, not paused, etc..

What else can I try to get BT to accept Ensign's playback?

Thanks,

Dougfir

Make sure you have the correct Ensign path.

Check the News subfolder under Ensign, check if there is a link.txt file.

I haven't used Ensign for sometime now.

Larry,

"Make sure you have the correct Ensign path. "
Meaning what? Ensign works fine, where does BT look for Ensign's path?

Also, I do have a link.txt file in Ensign/News.

No, Ensign is installed to E:.

Are you saying I need to manually point BT to Ensign?
