I've used HEM successfully playing 24 tables w/ no lag on my dell d630 laptop w/ 4gb RAM & 2Ghz processor for 7 months now. My windows is Windows XP prof service pack 3. In the last couple of days about 22 minutes into my session of 20+ tabling while using Table Ninja all of my pokerstars tables will freeze up and start to melt upon one another to the point where i can't see my cards or the action facing me. I can quickly fix it by shutting down the HEM Table Manager window and thus shutting down the HUD which makes me think the problem may be related to that. However even after i've 'fixed' the freezing & melting my CPU usages still stays locked up at 100% and if i turn back on the HUD, the freezing and melting begin again immediately.
Another problem that has just started to arise is that when in the Cash games tab of HEM, It takes forever pull up any of the individual hands that were played in the selected session. It doesn't matter if I select last 100, last 500, or 'all' is selected. It seems that HEM is trying to pull up hands b/c my CPU usage (on performance menu after ctr-alt-del). shoots up and just stays up at > 70% but it doesn't return anything after several minutes. This happens both before and after my computer freezes up in a session. In the previous 7 months pulling up the individual hands used to be something that took just a few seconds.
I went through the FAQ steplist of things to do to reduce lag and did all of those (except not using multiple panels) and then tried another session and everything ran smoothly again until 22 min into the session when the same things described above happened.
In the 'processes' tab of the ctr-alt-del windows task manager i noticed that i had several instances of postgres.exe running. Is that normal or a possible cause?
Anyways, let me know what other info i can provide. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
btw, i just switched to tableninja from AHK scripts about 1 week ago but hadn't encountered any problems in the first 5 days.
also, I stack all my tables in 1 stack but i have hotkeys that move the tables to the four corners of my monitor and then back to the middle stack.
