poor download speeds with Premium - and HOLD 'EM "flashes" ************* your expertise is required*

Vista network connections use both traditional TCP/IPv4 and the
newer TCP/IPv6. Just as a test case you may want to unbind the
newer v6 from your network adapter and retest your throughput.

 

my first thought is the driver for NIC. Hunt around and make sure you have the latest CORRECT one. Just because Vista installed a
driver for you doesn't mean its the best one.

 

The Hold'Em flashes are due to the poor drivers made by nVidia.

Honestly just read around and you'll see that most motherboard/video cards
with issues are chipsets by nVidia.

As for the slow network connection are you sure that it's Vista?

Have you tried multiple sites to download from?

The OS may change but this user...

Please fix your clock, you are posting from the future!

 

first, what isp is giving you 8MB down?!?!?!?
second, nvidia is a joke. they release WHQL drivers for the 8800 cards that
dont even work with the sleep function in vista. put vista to sleep, and the
monitor/video card never come back. nvidia's official response: "as a work
around, reboot"

how theyre being allowed to say WHQL is beyond me, they should be sued. and
yes, their shitty driver wont even work with a small game like hold 'em.

 

The first day I had my laptop (Vista Ultimate) I downloaded the Hold'em
game. It ran with no problems.

The day before yesterday I noticed I had an optional download, "Texas
Hold'em". I couldn't tell if this was an update, replacement, or what...
seeing as though I already had the game. I downloaded it and it said it was
successfully installed.

Now, when I play the game, I get the flickering that you describe. It was
not there before.

own admission

idea" in fact one tech support guy told me to

My second problem is with hold em - all the text (bets etc) continually
flash ... I am using Nvidia 8800 GTX
