MetaQuotes Language Editor doesn't work

New comment
 

Hi, I've got a strange problem where I want to edit a source code but MT4 doesn't let me do it.

When I click on the icon that looks like a yellow diamond with an exclamation mark (or shortcut F4), it is non-responsive and does not open up the source code like it used to.

I tried uninstalling the MT4 software and reinstalling it, but it's still the same.

Has anyone else had this problem before? I really don't know how to fix it and will be so grateful if you can help.

Hi thanks for your reply. 

I've got Windows 8 64 bits, and I've got it installed in Program Files x86.

Could you kindly explain in a bit more detail as I require more information, thank you! :)

Google  UAC . . .  then uninstall MT4 and reinstall in   C:\MT4Installs|broker_name\

Thanks Raptor. I'll have a go at that.

 I right clicked the MT4 icon and pressed run as administrator and now the editor works. Thank you so much for your help!
