: : I am having problems retrieving prices from MSN Historical since yesterday. (I switched to this when Yahoo Historical stopped working for funds.) I get various errors but the most often: "WinInet 12152 Server returned an invalid or unrecognized response."

: : I am using Personal version 8.5, quote manager 382 and transaction manager 119. Anyone else with such a problem?

: : Thanks. Tom

: Hi Tom,

: I've seen this error when retrieving for a date range the server didn't have prices for. Here's a couple things to try:

: 1) Under "Options / Internet Settings..." turn off "Use Windows Settings" for the proxy settings.

: 2) Try a different (longer) date range.

: Thanks,

Mark, thanks a lot. Turning off "use windows settings" did the trick. It then worked fine.

Tom
