How do you get to the game in CD? Open it, go to WGT and click Play Now? I hope not.
If you are, click the CD logo, choose Settings and under "on startup" select the third option-"open a specific page." Click "set pages" and enter the game client url there. (http://wgt.com/gameclient.aspx). OK your way out and close the browser
Now when you open the browser you skip all the WGT stuff and are in the game. I have zero problems with the CD meter.
