    Hello Richard4168,

    You dont need to be an IT expert to adjust a few settings in google chrome. Any problems and all you need to do is google it, and there will be a host of solutions to the problem. 

    I have tried a good few flash versions and browsers now. The main problem seems to be an accumulation of files that maybe my PC is struggling to cope with. I have an older PC with 512 RAM ( i could maybe even invest in more RAM, at least double it ).

    I have noticed that cancelling games early on before finishing them reacts badly with the meter, no matter what the flash/browser combo. I am surprised that no one else has noticed this. No matter, I will be posting my final verdict in a week or two, in the hopes that it may help someone the way the WGT Community have helped me over the past few weeks. ( Once I have pinpointed the main problem).

    PS: It would'nt be fair to resolve the problem and not tell anyone, and then go on to thrash everyone on the course, hehe 

    Later mate....S1XT0S

    Hello again Hyena64,

    This will be my last post on this subject. I have tried all main browsers, and all browsers mentioned by the guys here. I have also tried each browser with different flash versions.

    By the way, no disrespect to the guys that told me about Comodo, but even though its advertised as the most secure browser, it actually takes up about 5 times more system space and memory, which made matters even worse when I was infected with all types of malware while this browser was installed. ( they got everywhere, I was overrun ).On a good note, the browser is the fastest and most stable as long as it is kept as a games browser and not the main one. ( In my experience anyway ).

    In my quest I have accumulated quite a few trojan's, worms, viruses, bots etc,  which have even, stopped malwarebytes from functioning, and totaly took control of thee.... Avast anti virus software, which I have now uninstalled.

    I was saved by SuperAntiSpyWare. I set the program to search non executable files, and bloody everything else, and it found 6 Battle hardened Trojan Generals, who had positioned their troops at every entrance to every other program on my PC, and instructed them to keep me out. 

    Once the SAS cut the Trojan Generals heads off, then I was able to get Malwarebytes on the go again whereby it proceeded to track down all the rest of their troops and do them in. In the end I found out something surprising.

    The mft clean with ccleaner, I did shortly afterwards, seemed to flush out another batch of viruses but they had no chance to position their selves, and were wiped out by the malwarebytes scan and delete. After a restart I did a full defragg with defraggler and another mft clean which was much faster the second time. Now my pages load like lightning, almost instantaneous, and the gameplay on WGT is much, much better. By the way, This is with google chrome and the latest flash version due to security reasons and updates, but what a difference a proper clean and defragg makes.

    Anyway mate, you take care, and thank you for trying to help. 

    The same goes for 2-1, Richard4168, DRogers5864, Creamer444, RampagingRodent, ( If you are ever reading this RampagingRodent, then I need to tell you you have one long name mate......... I've typed shorter messages. ) and mikejon. All the best to you guys and thank you very much for the help.

    All the best Hyena64, might see you on the course one of these days...Respect S1XTOS

    Glad to hear it S1X, seems like you must be weary from all those battles, lol. As has been mentioned in many posts on here before, keeping your PC clean is half the battle to playing a good game on here. Hope you get better luck now that you have done all the above stuff. Friend request sent S1X, dont know why i didnt do that earlier, lol.

    Thanks 2-1, Yeah....those viruses can be a pest, but right now I am sitting with a giant thermal mug of coffee and those pests seem like a distant memory.

    I got the invite mate, thank you. I will see you on the course one day soon hopefully, but as I mentioned to hyena, once I get a wee bit more familiar with things. That said, if you were desperate for someone to join a game, then no problem. Just dont expect too much..hahaha

    Talk to you later mate...All the best.

    No problem S1X, i wouldn't be surprised if you beat me, lol. I'm only legend in rank, and not legend in my game most of the times. Will keep an eye out for you now, and hopefully we get a game going. Cheers S1X.
