    Default Freezing up later on

    I could've bought 3 HEM licenses if this wouldn't happen ...
    I play 8 tables(sitting in and sitting out, changing tables, keeping working tables at least 5),with HUD running. After ~3 hours of play it starts to lag, i thought it's FT lagging, asked a friend to look it from his computer - he said no lags at Full Tilt, checked forum too, no1 had problems. Then during next 2 hours it began getting worse and worse, lagging up to 10 seconds, my hands were folding out, I couldn't even close HEM and HUD - didn't let me.
    now background:
    I have new "high-end" computer with lo-o-ots of memory, super video-card, hard drive spaces, etc etc put together by professionals week ago specifically for poker playing on 2 monitors 30"+20". Databases fully vacuumed/analyzed, not many hands in it anyway(just 3rd of use), 99% no viruses, private personalized antivirus/firewall protection. Computer's hard is all "white" made, almost no other programs except freshly installed Windows XP and couple tough games.
    ... after that I had to stop playing, I've decided to run trough PokerEV software and in order to do so i exported hands from HEM into PT2. PT2 started choking and message run out of memory, which didn't EVER happen in 2 years of uploading mills of hands! And i didn't restart computer between those procedures.
    Please, help to find where the bug is hiding. My estimate 95% it's not my computer hardware or software conflicts and 80% that it's not FT's lag(because when i had such a lag on my old computer at FT once a season the screen went yellow for MAX 4-6 seconds and i always got back just in time to click the buttons on my hands/ now the screen just freezes and refreshes like 3framepersecond)

    P.S. I've played Crisis on MAXimum settings non-stop whole day(almost finished the game) and it didn't even slowed down ny the frame whole time, why did it happen with poker? i dunno...

    Try doing the following:

    1) Update your graphics card drivers or try different ones
    2) Move your opacity slider in Hud Options > Player Prefs and Hud Options > Table Prefs completely to the right
    3) Click force onTop in Hud Options > Table Preferences (If this dosent help please turn it off afterwards although youll need to restart hm for it to take effect)
    4) Disable Multiple Panels if its unecessary
    5) Start > Control Panel > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defrag

    I've tried 1,2,3 and 5 - no results. It keeps folding my nuts in 300bb pot!!! I am so-o-o tilted.
    #4 I can not disable, because I do use this "MUST HAVE" feature of HEM.

    Freezing up happens just randomly, i don't know what's going on...

    When the laggin happens does it happen for long, try unticking the tables in Table Manager and see if that shows any improvement

    during last days it happened randomly once in 2 hours. Each time lag was for at least ~15 seconds, then the next frame was couple of tables went white, and ~10 more seconds it was restoring normal vision. During theese lags I've tried to immediately shutdown Tablemanager, HEM - wasn't able too even through task manager 'cos it wasn't opening up. The first day i've started catching lags, I've disabled auto-run programs(which i didn't have much), so they wouldn't start up with Windows, so I had to turn off antivirus software, but it didn't help - lagging kept coming back randomly exactly the same way it was before. Can I run some debugging log next session that i play and send to you so you could try to see what happened? Since 2006 I used another tracking software and with multiple databases and lots of hands in it I never experienced such lag, the only lags were of FT's fault, but they occured like once a half-a-year, but not 4 days in a row never, and the lags were twice shorter and tables didn't change to WHITE color, it went rarely yeallow for 3-4 seconds at max.
    Right now I am on 9th day of trial and I really LOVE Holdem Manager for EVERY FEATURE, that's why i am trying to solve this problem desperately. If I won't be able to in next 6 days, i will have to sadly return to my old tracker with less filters and tools.
    i hope you guys can help me. Thanks a lot.

    Next time you have a lag can you try the Event viewer. This gives information about processes etc and might give us an idea of where the problems originates from.

    Intermitting Lag is a bit weird as youd think if its something with HM it would be constantly lagging but maybe the event viewer might help here.

    Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > Applications Section and look for information or error problems for the time the lag happened and right click and choose properties and copy and paste the info for anything just before and during the LAG if theres anything there.

    Also check the systems folder aswell for the same
