At end of rope re WGT MM original(meter)

  Got to the point where I am ready to quit WGT for real life, lol.

  My problem is meter. This happens with three different browsers. I have cleared cache(twice). I have deleted browsing history. I upgraded internet speed and ran speedcheck...it is so fast it overtook that red F-Type Jaguar we had to watch endlessly in pop-up ads.

  My meter does not stutter. It totally stops. Usually twice. And then takes off way faster than the human eye can see. It is especially bad on putts. I have to take 8 t0 10 stop and go practice swings before i get one continuous green moving line.

  I am using Windows 8 which I recently got as a replacement OS. Was as smooth as can be for a while.

  Anybody got a fix for this.

  I am a CC owner so I will be forced to run CC and never play again unlessI can fix it.

  Cheers, Surfy.

  Try another PC with a lower Windows version.

  If everything fails, you might pass the CC to another owner.

  Good luck to you!

  Found this info the forums about a week ago after having similar issues with Chrome.

   Maxthon 4 also called Maxthon cloud

  Meter smooth as butter & slow enough to ding the meter 98% of the time.

  Only issue I have had is sometimes being disconnected trying to play a match play game with others & the attributes and sometimes the pictures of equipment in the Pro Shop don't appear in this browser.

  So I leave that for Chrome: Pro Shop purchasing, reading forums, playing others

  But when I want to get serious about playing a great round I use Maxthon 4 ; it's that much better.

  Just noticed this lol

   Surfer from the 80's   Hope you are catching some good waves!

  After reading everyones replies I've noticed nobody has asked if your aware of how many services or programs you have starting up with your pc which you may not know of ...the more items that load when your pc starts up the more memory and ram it has already used and will continue to use while the pc is running. What got my attention is when you mentioned it "used" to be smooth as can be I would personally look there amongst the other items that theshoeman has mentioned
