MT4 shutting down?Back to topics list |

I'm running an EA with dll protection -- the name of the EA doesn't matter. It connects to a central server for authentication. My problem is the instance of MT4 I'm running it on keeps completely shutting down. I've never experienced this before. Is it possible the dll is causing this or the authentication server is not working properly, disconnecting me and shutting down MT4?
The computer running this is also running other MT4's, and they are all fine. I've never run anything that had the ability to completely shut down MT4. Is this possible? Thanks |

Are you saying this is what's causing my problem, or do I need this to prevent it?
