I am running windows 7..no wierd software
tashiba laptop, less than one year old
processor: 1.50 gigahertz AMD A6-3420M APU with Radeon HD Graphics
memory: 3560 Megabytes Usable Installed Memory, about 1GB used before running HM2
drive: 482.79 Gigabytes Usable Hard Drive Capacity, on fast HD
observation is even if HM2 is the only thing loaded, it initially opens at about 250MB Ram..then over course of a minute, grows to over 2.5GB, sucking up all available memory, then shows as not responding. Hangs system. After closing down (quite a task since systme is really slow), things are still slow compared to a fresh boot.
I installed all windows updates... excluded teh programs you suggested from firewall; have no antivirus running in background..set both programs to run as admin..no help.
I play on cake, and had about 14k hands imported.
suggestions?
thanks
Brian
