art,
when an indicator generates a continuing error, the error is continuously dumped into a log file.
the log file can grow into several 100 MB if the error is not sorted out. this in turn slows down the computer. on one occasion, my log file grew to over 10 GB !! that's when i dug deeper and discovered what was happening...
here's an extract of the log file that should explain this:

a new log file is written each day with the date for its name -- yyyymmdd.log.
in order to ascertain the error, you can open a file in a text editor and check for blocks of repetitive entries like the sample above.
in win7 these files should be located at:
c:\users\..........\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\[your_Empty4_folder]\experts\logs\[date].log
normally, each day's file size should be in KBs.
if the file hits MBs, it's worth looking at the errors reported and sorting them out.
i delete old files every day to free up disk space.
hope this helps. |
