I got rid of it and reinstalled it, working fine so far.

Thanks... I'm having problems with Gametime+ slowing down too.

Don't include your own stats. There was a thread on GT+'s forum stating that this can improve performance. It lists other options as well.

Gametime was freezing my system as well.... and I have a pretty powerful one, I tried everything posted in any forum to try and stop it, probably because my database has 400K hands in it.

When it almost cost me a huge pot I had to can it

Now I'm using playerview -- no freezing, same effect, actually I like playerview better because of 2 other reasons

1) PT doesn't need to be running in the background
2) It combines data from multiple databases

Thanks Chips, works great now.

This has been a major problem for me lately too. None of the fixes recommended have helped...

Here's what I have going on so far....

Gametime and playerview both cause massive slowdowns on my sytem. The CPU usage hits 100% every time either program updates whether PT is running or not. I four-table and have a large data base. While the CPU is at 100% I have no control over my mouse and the pointer just drifts around the screen. I've lost quite a few pots and had to stop using both programs. I have over 1GB of RAM and a HUGE amount of hard drive free space. I have an Athalon 1.8 and a nice video card.

- I increased my virtual memory allocation.

- I changed the priorities of party poker (up) and playerview and gametime (lower).

- I do not inlcude my stats.

What else should I do? I don't want to stop 4-tabling. Should I start a new PT database so it doesn't have to cycle through so many hands? This seems like a shame considering all the great data I have but I'm more concerned about getting reads on players I've never played before so I can quickly identify fish. This means I would rather see data from the day I'm playing than worry about stats I've collected over the last few months. This has been really frustrating!

Are you sure you have hide my stats checked? Thats what I did and it works great now.

Just wondering since the first time I clicked the table averages instead thinking that was the right one.

Droolie,
Maybe you have other processes running in the background that aren't allowing PV to run well. What kind of internet browser are you running and have you done a spyware check or virus scan? That's the only other thing I can think of because you have sufficient ram.

I use mozilla and have solid spyware and virus scans/ protection. There are tons of processes running on my computer though but I'm not sure which ones I can disable. I just want to come up with a solution to playerview using up 100% of CPU. If I could solve that one thing I'd be all set.

This was never a problem for me prior to the most recent update (1-10-05) of playerview. I posted this question in their messageboard and received no feedback...
