Absolute Poker Problem

Lebronomania · #1 06-19-2004, 04:24 PM

Ok, last post for the day. I'm having major problems with Absolute Poker's interface. When I play Absolute, I cant do anything else on my computer...it freezes all my other programs. Does anyone else have problems with Absolute? Is there anything I can do 'bout this?

I upgraded my OS to Windows XP pro and the interface stops freezing for me

FWIW, I was having a problem with my mouse pointer disappearing when it was over any of Absolute's windows. This happens periodically especially when the virtual memory on my PC kicks in. I tried restarting Absolute which didn't help but I then rebooted and that fixed it.

bonus-whores has mentioned that Absolute can be rather draining on a computer's resources.....more-so than other sites.
i'm kind of curious as to why this is actually.

anyway, i'm on a dial-up line....but my computer is fairly new and virus-free and i don't have any terribly noticeable issues with absolute.

i can tell it's a little sluggish when i'm changing pages on 2+2 and opening my e-mail and p-tracker all at the same time....i was disconnected from on hand when i had a little more than usual going on....but overall it hasn't caused me troubles.

the issues may be in your computer, memory or operating system....but i don't anything more about computers except how to say those terms.

Gabbyyyy actually seems to be pretty knowledgeable about computers (at least more than me) and may have ideas.

Happens to me also - I can freeze up easly - happens to 99% of people that play there.

As a layman, I do understand its a software capacity problem. My home computers have a lot of RAM and P4's. I don't have problems at Absolute: I can run 3 screens (4 if I play a tourney as well) and my TV program in all four corners, with no problems.

If I play Absoulute Pokers at my friend's house, I notice the problems others have talked about. But, I must say my friend's computer has significantly less RAM than my computers.

Finally, I do not believe its a connection issue or if it matters what type of internet service you use.
