Script runs fine on one MT4 installation, but 'Uninit reason 0' on all others.

All builds are 670, Jul 2014. DLL calls are allowed under tools, options. I don't know if this could even be an error with the code?

You probably don't have a global variable of the terminal "RunSlideShow" defined. Your code doesn't create it.

[blad4]

Ah yes. Would it still work on one terminal though?? The exact same script on each terminal?

It works for me.

[blad4]

Really, with the  while " (GlobalVariableCheck("RunSlideShow")) "  ?

You have to create this "RunSlideShow" manually (press F3, or by code if you wish).

Oh I see, if I were to delete a chunk out of the code would this save that hassle and the code just work without any mention of variables? If so, could you point me in the right direction and copy paste the according text I should delete?

By the way it is working on any install now that I have added the GV! Thank you
