MT4 build 600
Hello again Peter. Thanks for the reply. Next time it happens I'll let you know what it says in the journal. Another snag today which is that Alpari seems to have changed its MQL4 language in its latest build which means that the EA is currently not working. I have tried 'compile' as they have suggested but it just shows 30 error messages following that. The email received from Alpari today was:

Dear Sir
Thank you for contacting us.
A short description to the MT4 updates Build 600.
1) As you may know the location of the folders has been moved within the MT4 folder.
Additionally the MQL4 language changed which interferes with the installed EAs and Indicators.
2) The new location of the Experts and Indicator folders is: MT4 > MQL4 > Experts / Indicators
3) In there, the EAs need to be saved. However, since their language is not compatible with the new MQL4 language any more, clients will have difficulties to use them.
4) In order to bring them align with the new language they will need to compile the old language set up (hope you still follow J )
5) There are 2 options.
5a) the client will need to contact his EA provider and ask him to adjust the EA settings/language to be able to function on the new MT4 again.
5b) some clients wrote their own EA and they will need to do the following:
=> Navigate to Tools > MetaQuotes Language Editor

=> a new window will appear.
=> navigate to View > Navigator and the Navigator box will appear in this window.
cid:image007.jpg@01CF2260.88FCFE00
=> select the EA / Indicator you would like to use and needs to be updated and double click on it.
=> alternatively you will need to navigate to File > Open and find the relevant EA / Indicator in the folder saved on the computer and select it from there.
=> the relevant EA script will appear in the main window.

=> click on ‘Compile’ in the toolbar on top of the main window.
cid:image013.jpg@01CF2260.88FCFE00
=> a message will appear in the ‘Toolbox’ window on the bottom.
cid:image014.jpg@01CF2260.88FCFE00
=> Once this is done the MT4 should be reopened and the EA /Indicator should be able to use again.
Let me know if you have any questions.
