Just throwing this out there in case anybody has any advice. I can’t seem to stay on PartyPoker. I login, sit down at a table or two or three and within a minute or so all of the screens lock up. I click close and Windows pops up an error message telling me that the program is not responding and asks me if I want to kill it. I say yes and the entire app shuts down.
I’ve emailed Party about it and they gave me the first level clean up cookies, empty your temp dir stuff but since I have an almost new system with 1GB RAM and over 100GB of free disk space I’m pretty sure that’s not the culprit. I caused a crash and sent them the memory dump so we’ll see what happens. I can’t make a cause and effect argument for it just yet but this never happened before I installed XP Service Pack 2 so that may end up being the bugger. Though, that being said, I can’t believe I’m the only guy with the problem (yes, I did deactivate the Firewall to see if that was the problem).
As Matt Drudge would say . . . . Developing . . . .

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.

yea i have the same problem here.i think it’s the software. i also have 1000 megs of ram 100 GB hard drive it freezes when table stakes are high. any fixes out there for this problem
I have the same problem. Ever since I upgraded to SP2 PP starts running extremely slow and eventually freezes. The system starts to run so slow it takes a whole reboot to get it back running again This never happened when running XP before I upgraded to sp2. Some sort of conflict obviously.
Please help PP!
Thanks
I’ve been having the same problem recently… but I don’t think my problem is related to SP2 as I haven’t recently installed it.
When it freezes… I just Ctl-alt-del and when the Task Manager pops up… I get PP back.
Any hope?
