  Defragged ?? Never a bad idea once installed a few things on a new system if HDD not SSD.

  Power settings??? Are you set to full power, not some factory default ultra low power saving (therefore also resource restrictive) setting??

  Background tasks? Any real nonsense running in background (unlikely interfere with your resources but....)

  Checked that the RAM is installed properly in the system.  For this game not to run you would need nearly all of not recognised but.....

  Are you up to date?? Control panel then all critical updates / optionals of your choice installed??? (and degrag after that if many assuming a HDD not SSD of course).

  Try cleaning up your system, I use CCleaner to clean things up, you can download for free:

  here

  When (if) you do check the settings on the left side window to select / deselect the stuff you want / don't want to clean. Also right at the bottom of the settings under advanced is the option to "Wipe Free Space", this increases the time the clean takes substantially but is usefull once in  a while.

  If no sites are showing up in flashpmay be  problem with browser, try firefox or another browser  play a practice round for few holes then check flash manager see if wgts cookies is there in flash manager for that browser.

  If not its a flash player issue.

  Uninstall flashplayer reinstall if thats the case.

  Or quiet possibly u have blocked all cookies in settings on chrome by accident so none will be accepted.Check settings see if cookies is enabled.

  Yeah Jim i did this and that, but i ain't no computer dude for sure. I talked to a buddy of mine and he said he would look at it for me. What really confuses me is this thing came with nothing installed. Checked available ram it says its all there.

  Game plays you just don't have a meter. Meter is so choppy you would have no chance to hit a good shot.

  Actually the computer i use now to play has all kinds of crap on it. But.... it only plays in Chrome. Chrome is only browser with smooth meter.

  Now my sons cheap notebook believe it or not will play this game very well. I don't think it hardly has any ram. And..... loaded with all his crap on it.  ??  :)

  I know this reply has been done to death but did you try Maxthon?   And not Cloud, the proper version 3?

  When you go to Maxthon.com most of the page is a big link to Cloud but down on the bottom left is a list of History Products, Maxthon 3 is linked from there.  I accidentally installed Cloud once and couldn't get on with it at all. 

  I know many people love Chrome but Maxthon has none of the issues that so often seem to plague it.

  I did Mainz. TBE told me about Maxthon 3 a good bit back. Even gave me the flash version he uses. Choppy meter. I tried most of them that i know of. Some strange reason Chrome is smooth. Even right now my flash storage is broken, but the game play is butter. 

  I wish i could get another browser to play in. Buddy going to help me out next week. Maybe then get another browser to work.

  On your high spec PC Gerald open up the task manager, click the performance tab, double click in the graph, stretch the graph to fit the width of the screen and just leave the PC to idle for 5-10 minutes with no programs running. If the graph shows a lot of activity then you have some programs running in the background which may need investigatiing.

  

  The above graph shows my PC recording a TV programme, running a scan and viewing the forum, hence the high CPU activity. 

  If you have high CPU activity, then double in the graph if you have the view above, to bring the tabs back into view. Click the Processes tab to show what is running.

  I noticed, a couple of days ago, that my flash settings were missing.  The game seemed to be playing ok so I just kept playing.  Yesterday, my meter was awful in a tourny.  Today (in practice) my meter was smooth as silk.  Loading seems to be ok too.  There is something wrong so I'm keeping an eye on this thread and also doing some investigating.  --  just dandy

  Just did a flash benchmark test and passed easily (19864).  This is on a Toshiba I7, quad core using Firefox.  Hoping for more ideas.  --  just dandy         *Running flash 12.0.0.70
