party poker crashes

[terrible]

i'm pretty sure you guys will be more helpful than party poker's useless customer support so here goes

basically i used to play on party without any problems until an update earlier in the year. since then the program often freezes then crashes when i load a table, especially multiple ones. i've read about problems with pahud and so on so i've tried it while running no programs and the problem persists. reinstallations haven't worked either. my computer specs are very good and has more than enough memory to deal with the tables i'm trying to load.

there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it, but in any case party is unplayable and has been for some time because of it. just wondering if anyone else has had similar issues and resolved it somehow

thanks
