need computer help
If someone knows a lot about computers I need help. Something just happened that can happen on occasion and cost me a lot of money, and I dont know what to do about it. Basically whenever I open a window on Partypoker and simply leave it where it spawns, if I try to open another partypoker window, it will claim to be open, but will be invisible on my screen. The only way to open a new table is to move the original one and then open it. In general this is not a problem, however just now my internet crashed, and its a HUUGE problem when you are in 8 games, and you need to log back in and get them started up immediately. It took me about 3-5 minutes to get back in them all, in which I lost a lot of chips in the meantime, and even busted from one, as opposed to taking 5 seconds. Is there anyone here who colud help me figure out what to do? Thanks... |

Re: need computer help
Usually it will start them back up for you automatically. When that doesn't work, I open my hand history folder (or look in PT if I have it running) to get the tournament number. Then I go to the lobby and sort by number. I have a shortcut on my desktop to the folders, so it doesn't take long.

Re: need computer help
im sure you already tried alt-tabbing to find them, but if you didnt, start there.
another solution might be this. hold the windows key then press the M key. this should minmize all windows. then hold shift and the windows key and press the M key. this should "invert" the minimization and return all windows to the top. |

Re: need computer help
Again it does start them up automatically, it just won't spawn a window over another window, so it only opens one. Also every 30 seconds can be worth a lot of money when you are playing late in sit and gos. Its a problem that if I fix might save me over a thousand dollars over the next few months, so I really am going to try to fix it, as theres no reason this should be a problem. |

Re: need computer help
Have you thought about getting a backup internet service? I'm sure if this happens just once a month it could make up for the extra cost.

Re: need computer help
Im going to recommend you to get a cheap external HD, and reformat your original hard drive.
Once you start getting queer problems with your computer, they get worse..... Ive been running in safe mode for the past 5 months, lol. |
