My full tilt freezes - $10 if you give me a solution!

[TotalScience]

My full tilt freezes on a semi-regular basis. Before I was terminating FT and opening it again, now I've found that I can leave it frozen for about 30 seconds and it will come back. This is very frustrating and Im sure it has negatively affected my ROI for the past few weeks.

It usually (but not always) happens the moment I press a button, the button(such as the fold btn, not a key on the keyboard) will remain pressed down on the screen.

Ive done my best to eliminate other programs that were running.

Ive ran a whole arsenal of spyware/virus scans.

I even bought the whole Norton deal last week. It was a very weird process putting it on my computer and Im pretty sure it does nothing positive for my computer, lol.

The computer itself may very well be nearing P.O.S. stage. Its a computer I built piece by piece about 4 yrs ago(I really regret that move, Im decent, but not near good enough with computers, have always had a ton of problems).

So if anyone has had similar experiences or has any ideas on possible solutions that would be great. Im beginning to think that its probably the computer itself(the motherboard has always been [censored], and the video was always weird). But any ideas besides scrapping the computer and getting a new one, let me have them. $10 on FT for a fix. Thanks.

Good luck, I've tried everything I can think of to fix this and it hasn't work. They yellow screens are the best!

Call your ISP (you never mentioned what kind of connection you have).

Don't tell them that you are having trouble on a poker site. Just tell them you are having lag and latency issues in general. They should be able to run a diagnostics test on your connection from their office while you are on the phone with them.

I had these exact same issues with FullTilt, and I automatically assumed that it was the same issue that everyone else was having. It turned out, there was electrical interference in my cable line, and once that problem was fixed, my lag on FullTilt all but disappeared (about once every 200 hands or so, I get a hang up...but I haven't had a hand folded on me since).

I had no (apparent) problems with any other sites or internet applications.

I have sbc/att DSL. Thats a new line of thinking BJK! Im going to try it.

If you haven't re-installed your computer in the 4 years you have it then I would give some serious thought to just starting with a new installtion. There's all kinds of cruft that builds up over the years in addition to possible spyware.

Get an external hard-drive (usb). Borrow one from a friend, for example.

Save all your documents on the hard drive. Export your emails to a file and save them, too. Export your bookmarks and save them.

Reinstall windows. Make sure you delete the partition and create a new one in the first step of installation.

This will take a couple hours, so plan ahead.

Restart your computer between sessions. This solved 90% of my problems with FT crashing.

You must be a computer programer, because rebooting is their answer for everything !!

If you run nVidia desktop manager, turn it off. That might be causing your problems

I was having the same problem with just Full Tilt. My connection would lock up frequently and I'd be disconnected several times within a 5 minute period. The solution? I went to my ISP and described my disconnect issues. Their solution was that my old cable modem was old and obsolete and not able to keep up with the higher speed network that they had implemented over the last few months. They gave me a new cable modem. I installed it and my problem was gone! So take a look at your connection, and if your equipment is older than a few years, it may be your cable modem or modem.
