For some reason, when I'm on Carbon and Walker poker (both the same, basically) it keeps hanging up and then sits me out. What could be the problem here? I just installed an update on both.

I play free rolls at Carbon & Walker every week. The only problems I have encountered are at Walker. They will often cancel tourney's for some reason. They have made it up to the players by having a larger free roll ( $750 instead of $250 ) This tells me they are having site/software/hardware difficulties, but Carbon has allways been steady.
I do have connection problems at some sites on occasion, and usually need to reboot the computer, and reconnect. This works 99% of the time.
You might also try closing everything on the computer except the game,
and always go into or start a game with a fresh boot so little else is running in the background.

lol it is because carbon and walker are basically the same rooms, just different skins....usually you can't open one with the other up..it's almost like having two accounts :)

You may also want to consider a new Graphics card, some of these sites can overload the older ones

Yeah, KC, I knew that. But I only had one open at a time

And I didn't have any problems with either before the updates. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling on both sites, but that didn't help either. I don't know.

Could the problem be with your internet provider?

This happens to me all the time at Merge sites. If I only have that site open, which is almost never, it runs ok. But if trying to do too many other things, it gets very slow and I end up sitting out.
As Cowboy said, I just assume it is because my computer is very nearly a museum piece!

Me too!

I used to play at Carbon regularly because I enjoyed all the different FRs. Also, I played at all the CC FRs there as well, with hardly any problems. But now, especially after they installed the new upgrades, I get sat out regularly----and also I get notices saying....'You're running slowly' and are going to get disconected! Now, this all just started happening AFTER the up-grades. Think there's a connection? AND, I TOO have an $80 computor w/Windows ME and a celeron processer----It's prolly just TOOOO old, like me!:p

Try going to settings, the performance tab and unclicking "show animations'
It used to unclick this itself when slow, maybe it doesn't do it anymore after the upgrade, unsure...

Make friends with the trash man. My friend is a trash guy, people throw out better computers (littered with viruses) all the time. Or big companies write off their old comps and usually give them away, kissing up to some people at banks etc. not a bad idea.

Or, you could got to TigerDirect.com - Computers, Computer Parts, Computer Accessories, PC Components, & Electronics and buy the pices you need to keep yours up to date. I do not work for am I associated with this site. However, I do spend alot of money there keeping 2 desktops and a laptop that are all over 4 years old it good running condition.

Okay, just noticed something. I opened bodog for the tourney today and checked my system resources and they were hovering around 4%. Then, I opened Walker and shut down bodog and they skyrocketed to almost 50%! What could be causing this? Anyone?

I have Carbon, Spin, Reefer, and Player Nordica which is all the same software and I don't ever have problems. I don't have Walker though. Geez how many sites use that software?

I haven't tried Walker or Carbon yet, but I think I fixed it. My bodog game was also messing up during the tourney, but I updated the firmware for my router and all was well after that. Of course, I got all that done just in time to play my last 140 chips, but oh well.

Thanks Ik, I'll check those settings!

As for the trashman as a computer supplier ...
That's where I got this one!
:) :p :)

And thanks for the tip on the site, Cowboy. Maybe they have some older model memory chips. Sure wouldn't hurt!

How many sites in the network? Supporting the gazillion poker fora of which I m a member, now have 10 sites installed! Was it Poker.com that started the network? It's the first one I joined anyway.
