I was use to use bodog, but decided to cancel my account because I had to much lag and freezing problems. GL
bodogbecky is generally very responsive...it might be helpful to send her a PM with a link to this thread though:

I'd like to know the answer also since I've reged to represent CC in the OFC event @ BoDog @ the end of the month & would prefer not to expereince any system issues (the primary reason I really don't play @ that site).
^^ Yeee-ikes.
I know that @ the end of last year BoDog was in the process of improvements but I just haven't gotten around to taking another trial run... (see post #69 of >>> https://www.cardschat.com/forum/poker-rooms-10/bodog-making-some-improvements-163753/index2.html for my prior adventures on BoDog).
I thought the OFC event would be an opportune time to give 'em another try...then I stumbled into this thread.
I recently got a new laptop that's running Windows 7...when I attempted to download the app I rec'd this msg (so unless I get this resolved, I won't be able to participate in the OFC event @ the end of the month ).
...
BTW, I got a new laptop with Windows 7 too. But I was able to DL it, don't recall any problems. Try uninstalling it, especially since it's telling you there are corrupt files. When you reinstall it, make sure you let it save it where it wants (the default), which is Program Files(x86).
When I download programs I consistently run or save to default (as I am lazy + plug & play is my 'default' ) Maybe I'll just reinstall it on my netbook which has Vista as the Op Sys (I know many peeps have had issues with Vista but I was pretty lucky & never had any probs) -- I just wanted to use my new toy...sigh.
I'll try to download again later today on the laptop though (when I wake up since I'm enroute to bed after this post -- was trying to wait up for the SO who's @ the Wynn playing poker but I am sleepy); it's possible the download was interrupted (as I was multi tasking downloads -- & the others were successful) but I'll have to conduct a search (vs a std uninstall) & scrub.
They didn't use to be like this, I wonder whats up, I saw someone else complaining about simular problems..
Where is bodog becky when ya need err?:icon_scra
I dont got the patience Bodog blows imo. I not gonna register for the OFC just because there holding it on Bodog.. Terrible terrible decision by the ofc imo..
Just to answer one of your questions, yes Bodog also lags and freezes on XP. It has nothing to do with your computer or Operating System.
Thanks again, Becky! But gotta tell ya, Bodog has run worse after each update. Looks like Full Tilt us using 85k vs 52k for Bodog. Yet I don't have problems in FT. Wait, 15 minutes later, FT is using 45k, and Bodog 69k. Weird, eh?
IcyBlueAce said the CPU usage was over 50%. Well, I did not look yesterday, but I just looked right now, and it's maybe 2%, and I was just at the play money tables, and it's running like a top. No lag whatsoever. So might be an intermittent thing. Or could be that the 2:40 freeroll makes it lag? That is a piece of cake for a huge site like FT. Maybe not for Bodog? At any rate, I've played that freeroll for 3 years now, and never had these problems.
Hope they figure it out soon. No doubt they've gotten lots of phone calls. Maybe a good idea to call in while it's happening, as it might be harder to detect the cause while it's running great. It's great that Bodog is constantly striving to make improvements. But issues like Hand History, and what place you're in (in a tourney) hugely pale in comparison to not being able to play without freezing.
Well, the OFC likely has no idea of these semi-recent lag & freeze issues. I would still pre-register (I thought you did maybe). It doesn't mean you have to register. Maybe it will be resolved, or at least improved.
Oh, so you're having problems too? Yeah, I got the new laptop in November, so wasn't sure if Windows7 related. Thanks for saving me the trouble.

Hmm... but one benefit is that it's a level playing field. Hand Grabbers, HUDs, stat trackers don't work on MTTs on Bodog. Yes occasionally it's laggy but the profitability on that site from the poor players on there, more than makes up for lag/layout/software issues in my opinion. And I have NEVER had a faster payout from any site that was as fast as Bodog.
Don't do this, just don't. It goes to Program Files(x86) for a reason. Don't ask me what that reason it. lol Actually, it must have to do with Windows 7, as the (x86) does not exist in XP. But I once tried to put a download somewhere else, and it didn't work. But you don't want the Bodog client running into corrupt files on a fresh install. Ultimatebet is the only site that ever created it's own folder (not inside Program Files(x86)) called Poker Applications. It works, so I leave it alone. Anyway, let me know here how it goes. Good luck!
