Poker333 download of new Interface

[nafanny29]

Is anyone else having this problem???

Yes!!! on all my Prima rooms. I reported in a different thread that I thought the problem was fixed but since then Bet365 poker has caused my PC to "stop" on 3 occasions.

I can play on 3-5 different softwares at the same time without problems but even Prima (Bet365) on its own crashes everything. Somethings not right here.

We are also aware of a problem with downloading the software using Firefox and are working to fix it, if you have issues with this I can give you a different link to download it, using PM's. However the problem using the Prima software has been forwarded to Prima and they are looking into it.

The fact that you can't download from Mozilla is ridiculous, why does this not happen with other Primas?

It seems Microgaming has decided it wants to infest your browser with an ActiveX script called Microgaming Download Helper to allow people to download files. Which is absurd. Information about what this script does, why it is needed (everyone should be able to figure out that its not) and why there isn't an option to download without it is nowhere to be found.

There is a reason Firefox (and SP2 IE) blocks ActiveX scripts. Downloading something as simple as an exe-file certainly shouldn't need any modification to your browser.

I have a perfect fix. Remove the ActiveX script and host your files like everyone else does. I guarantee it will work with every browser.

Prima has actually fixed the issue with the Active X as Norton and other antivirus and firewall software had security issues with it so it should be resolved now

Firefox and IE (xp sp 2) will automatically block ActiveX. And thats a big part of computer users these days. Of course if the download doesn't need the script and will start anyway most people will be able to get the file. But if that is the case, what is the purpose of the ActiveX script to start with? And why does Microgaming feel they have the right to install a script in my browser? What does that script do?

dlhelper assists you in downloading the software, especialy when you have a slow or bad connection. When you loose the connection or shutdown the computer it will continue the download from where it was interupted the last time.

These browsers will automatically block activex if it doesn't have the right security certificate. The Firefox issue should be fixed by Monday on our site. I hope so anyway

But it's not really needed. People have downloaded and installed programs from the net for ages without a need for a script. This is just useless bloating of browsers that companies like to do. http://homepage.mac.com/raruler/.Pic...t_explorer.jpg

And I know it is not your idea or your fault. So I am not having a go at you or your pokerroom. I am just ranting about the phenomenon in general and MicroGaming for deciding this is a good idea. Though you should have an option to download without it for those that like to keep their browsers as clean as possible.
