Microsoft Windows Poker Patch Fix
Two things in this life are certain 1) Death and 2) Windows compatibilities issues. We can help you with one of these...
Poker users have already reported slowdowns, errors and general compatibility issues with Microsoft's new operating system Vista. The main problem surrounding Vista is its original lack of testing on third party applications, especially software originating overseas. Poker sites and software definitely fall within this category that Microsoft determined a non-priority. Thankfully there are a couple ways around Vista's short comings.
- Download the Windows Vista Application Patch (Download directly from Microsoft here). This patch is confirmed to increase playing speed and reduce glitches, especially as to Vista's 64 bit version.
- Play with java based No Download poker sites. AbsolutePoker.com has just released an Instant Play - No download site compatible with all browser types. PokerCompatibility.com has tested this site on IE 6& 7, Safari and Mozilla's Firefox; the site passed with flying colors.
FullTiltPoker.com and PokerStars.com have been in communication with us saying that most users find success in one of the above solutions and recommend trying both. Please let us know any additional issue you as a poker user may be facing, we look to updating this list as more solutions are found.
