Post From: SIerra Chart locks up every time I do a replay chart to test my ACSIL custom study

I can run my ACSIL study fine in bar-based back test or in real time sim or live but every time I run a replay back test, Sierra Chart locks up and become unresponsive. Below describes my settings and environment. I have read the help sections on manual replay of charts for trading systems and think I am doing everything right. Please help!

2 charts in chartbook - a 5m ES and 1m ES.
The 5m chart has 2 studies overlayed onto the 1m chart
Have tried with 5m and 1m having exact same number of days and with 5m having more days of data
global settings --> general settings, I have "use controlled order chart updating" checked
global settings --> data/trade service settings, I have "intraday Data Storage Time Unit" set to 1 tick
Trade --> autotrade enabled
Trade --> trade simulation mode on

Replay steps.
1. Load chart and enable study
2. Disconnect from server
3. Scroll to beginning of day on 1m chart
4. Open chart replay menu
5. Set chart replay to "Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode"
6. Check "For all Charts in Chartbook"
7. Set replay speed to 240 (it locks up even when set to 1)
8. Hit play
9. Hit OK and set "enter processing Step in seconds" to 15 (default of 60 locks up also)
10. SC opens popup window "loading... 0% ESU5 Click to cancel" and locks up. has to be killed in Windows.
