someone else had this problem last wek, I suggested it was the version of DirectX.
they didn't come back and say if it worked or not


from betfairs help pages....


What version of Direct X do I require for Betfair Poker to function?

You need to have at least version 9 of Direct X in order to run the Betfair Poker software. If you need the latest version, please go to www.microsoft.com/directx.


let us know if it helps

Thanks I have a couple of friends who are having problems with betfair poker software.

Got an IT bloke on the case with not much luck at mo, and obv nothing from bf so will get them to look at this

When I chose the upper, resizable windows version of poker software, it immediately froze.

The trick is to let it run (though it's not responding ). After a while (couple of minutes) the computer starts to load Microsoft DirectX(R). When downloaded, the poker software starts to function.

One bug remains nevertheless: When I choose between chat, stat, notes and tourney, I cannot get back.

I got the impression that Windows7 caught the Betfair techie team pants down.

Right click mouse over betfair Poker icon on desktop...Select properties... Compatibility... tick box... run this programe on a earlier windows version... select

all done

no such thing mate

I do run on version 9 of DirectX, so that cannot be the problem.

I tried the other option of running in an earlier version of windows (xp pack 3 f.e.) but other problems came up like mentioned here..(not possible to switch from chat to stats etc).

So i am still searching and having the same problems. I just dont undertstand.....

Is DirectX8 an idea and then run it in an earlier XP version of Windows???
