$10 Bounty for PP Software Help
 

I have a weird problem that I can't fix. I'll pay $10 via paypal or partypoker transfer to the first person who tells me how to fix this.

I run partypoker with windowsXP (and used to run skins). When I click on the top right minimise '_' or windowclose 'x', it freezes my computer for about 4 seconds. I do not have this problem on any other computer with partypoker and my screen name.

I also don't have this problem if I make a new xp administrator account on the same computer with the problem, and run party poker under that XP account. Another wierd thing is that I had the same problem with party skin windows, like eurobet or empire. I don't notice the effect on any other application.

I have tried wiping all my poker software, clearing the registry of partypoker (as best I could), and stopping the startup apps in msconfig.

I'm only going to accept answers that take a few minutes of my time (i.e., while wiping my hard drive may fix the problem, that is not acceptable).

what about right clicking the the app at the bottom of the screen and min/closing?

that is a way to minimize the window, but it does not fix my problem

delete party completely and erase the registry if you can. Try installing it in a new folder and see if that has any affect. Sounds like a screwy windows bug to me. Is the XP account you are currently on have full permission access?

I already did all these things and it didn't work. Yes, the account I use has full access.

The answer's in the question. Create and use a new XP username. How long does it take to copy over your MyDocuments/Favorites/Desktop/StartMenu folders, like 30 seconds?

This is just something screwed in the registry branch associated with that user account, not worth the time to investigate/repair - move on.
