Strange Poker Stars problem / Solution

Hi,

I know some other CC'ers have had a similar problems at poker stars as I have. It started about a month ago. The problem was that PS would not start up, network looked fine but the program just wouldn't open up! I tried downloading and reinstalling the software again but that didn't help.

I would try up to ten or twenty times to no avail.

I use the Vista operating system so this problem may be only associated with Vista, but what I found out today is that if I right click the shortcut to the PS program, select "Run as Administrator", it started right up.

I hope this "fix" is helpful to others.

I could be wrong here but sounds like you somehow blocked the site from being opened normal. I have not had a problem with pokerstars opening.

Sounds like a similar prob I had..it turns out when Stars did the last update and wnt to restart Vista asked to "Always Allow or Always Deny" the connection I must have clicked on Deny by mistake. I went into Security settings and changed it back to allow.
