Cant install RTG

[vinylweatherman]

I have noticed that if I have certain web pages or no pages open when I'm playing RTG slots that they drag terribly bad. However if I open my yahoo mail page (without going to the actual mail, then they run smooth. Strange uh! This doesn't just happen once in a while but always. I've wondered if this has something to do with what port a particular web page requires. Any ideas or has anyone noticed the same thing?

Very odd
You would expect the opposite, or no effect. Loading the RAM & Processor with more tasks should slow things down. It looks like sloppy programming, either by RTG or Microsoft, and may be down to what is loaded permanently into RAM, and what is run from the paging file/hard drive.
There may well be some OS tweaks to get around this, however I have not gone into this except for Win98, which is tweaked to b*****y on my machine
The cheapest way to enjoy fast & smooth gaming, and thus loosing* as fast as possible (RTG), is to upgrade the PC with as much QUALITY RAM as it will take - this should cost around $100 or so, and almost as much in UK Pounds because we are the rip off capital of the world

I did this with my Win98 machine, and there has been an improvement - I'm still using it

Secondly, a decent graphics card will help, especially now that casinos are in to all this fancy animation (Crypto, 3Dice), as well as improved detail on the base games (RTG, MG, Playtech).

Upgrading the processor is the most expensive, and difficult, option, and for most users really means buying a new PC! At this stage, look for tweaks for the OS, as well as making sure all the hardware drivers are up to date as Windows Update does NOT handle this.



* How long will KK take to spot this

But yet I run XP, can run several mg casinos at once, never get any slow down and have had absolutely NO problems with Norton affecting any casino installation

guys you have to remember that ANYTHING you install on your pc can affect something else. The problems some of you are reporting might in actual fact be in relation to ANOTHER piece of software that you had or have installed at somepoint in the past. Its amazing how much clutter your pc can accumulate over time and youd be amazed at how many problems one innocuous little piece of software can cause when run with others.

I honestly do not believe it is XP that is causing any problems and i know its not norton if you have a later edition. However i have no experience with vista and wont for a long time to come yet lol

It's not a RAM problem, that's for sure, since I have 1GB on my XP desktop. It also won't be a paging file problem since the other application has to be maximized as opposed to minimized. And even when no other applications are running except MSN and RTG, the problem manifests itself.

It's not likely a graphics problem either since the problem only manifested itself recently and I had been playing at the casino since last year.

It could be a software conflict (as I said, likely Flash), the fact that a few of us have now mentioned this problem points to something that would have to be reasonably common - and since I don't often install software, that really leaves Windows, IE, and Flash or Java.

Ram & Flash........RTG?

About the ram and flash possibilities. I don't notice that other programs drag, unless I have a ton of things open, neither does it seem to make a difference if the browser I'm using at the time is Firefox or IE. I have a fairly good amount of ram on my system. I also have a laptop and desktop and it is the same behavior across the board. The only thing I have found that is consistent is what web page that I have open. As for the flash aspect, I know nothing about flash so I can't comment on that.

Mike031, I was not making jokes about you, it was general sarcasm, the way you came across sounded rude to me, I am sorry if you took offense. As for not getting RTG installed it was AVG's Resident Evil.....I mean Shield, once disabled all worked fine, thanks for all your suddestions and help here.

I thought it would be a software conflict somewhere. Youd be amazed the amount of programs that interfere with other programs even with things that seem to be working ok.

sorry, but this was really not my intention

Maybe i should take some english lessons?

 

[AudiManinBoro]

Considering you speak more than one language Mike its quite an achievment. Your english is fine
