problems with BODOG

Hi,

Yesterday i played (for the first time) a bodog freeroll. Today i wanted to do the same so i logged in. The system recognized my password but there came a popup that i had to contact bodog security and i could not play poker on the site. So i contacted Bodog security by mail. They replied that i would have to phone Bodog Financial Services. But what has a Financial service to do with it??? I didnt made any deposits to bodog?
Maybe they want me to make a deposit and then i can logon (but that would be stupid in my opinion). Maybe i call them later but i want to know if anyone has had the same problem with Bodog?????

Is this the only account you've ever had there? Be honest.

Lol just call them. It is probably because you have vista. If you want before you call right click on your bodog avatar and run as administrator. That should solve your problem.

Thanks Pooffy it works again!
HillBilly: no just one account

dont know man, they made me fax them a copy of my credit card and drivers licenese before i could cash out, but thats it

Hi Poofy, is this a problem common to Vista with the poker rooms? I'm running XP, but this computer is slowly becoming my least favorite computer. And soon I'll have to buy another one.

I had a problem, with logging in once and they just told me to uninstall the software, then reinstall the software but put the number 2 on the end of the target location.

Yep Vista issue. I have Vista/Windows defender/ Norton (OMG :eek) which I tend to run mainly in a standard user account. After any new versions are issued at most of the standard poker sites I get a connection problem which varies from one site to another. To solve it I log in as the administrator and run the program. In some cases, the site's software is so dumb that it has to download again and reinstall to work!

Not sure of why we need to do this as it's really against what Vista's all about.

I did my best to keep XP for my new computer. I had just installled a Vista Computer for my parents, and while I didn't have any trouble with the set-up, I see it makes you upgrade (BUY NEW VERSIONS) of just about any major software that you may have held on the XP that is several years old.

The software makers just did not patch up old versions to a certain point for Vista. So be very careful of older versions of programs and check this out before you buy so that you will be prepared to purchase upgrades to the latest versions if neccessary (because the programs wil not work period). It is just a scam that Microsoft and the software vendors perpetrated on people to pay more for programs already purchased.

As it turned out, XP is available (at least on DELL) but the models available (or the extra price they were charging) just did not make sense for my use, so I got a VISTA machine.

I have had it up and running for a few weeks now with these poker rooms:

PokerTime
Doyles
PS
FTP
Carbon
Cake
Bodog
Bugsys
UB

All of the rooms open up zero problem, except everytime it opens Carbon it makes me take an extra step of clicking ALLOW this program to open
