Title: Ladbrokes and 100% cpu utilisation Post by: marcro on February 26, 2006, 07:04:46 PM Any other Laddies users experiencing this and if so, any known work arounds? When I load the Laddies software it seems to hog the cpu and most of the time I am running at 100% cpu utilisation. No such problems with any other poker sites though. Thanks.

I've had similar problems in the past with Microgaming sites. The cause was Norton Antivirus software which triggered some sort of incompatibility with it. If you are running this then disable it briefly to see if it drops the CPU usage. After that, contact the site, although they may not be much help in actually solving the problem (mine just went away after an update).

It's probably good pratice to reboot before you enter a comp anyway, less chance of your machine crashing mid game.

I am not too keen to turn my virus protection off though. Thanks for the replies.

However, you can do a disable for 1 minute from Norton which will tell you if its the cause of the problem. It could be something completely different! Sheriff |
