Hi all. This is a tricky one, and I don't know why it is happening.
I'm having a problem installing a programme-download from a site. The download itself is not the problem, it's not corrupted in any way. When I try to install it, from the folder i saved it to, the installation starts, but keeps stopping on EXACTLY the same FILE all the time, and the installation will not continue....heck, it's only a bitmap-file....I don't know my computer stops every time at this particular file. I don't have any problems with installing any other downloads.
It's REALLY frustrating....anyone have an answer?What's the program, from where did you download it, and on what filename does it stop?Hi Allan. It's from ultimatebet.com the POKER site.
It stops on:

data/gameimage/mainbg/mc_icon_bounty.bmp

A friend of mine had no problems installing it, so I got him to send HIS execution file to me,I put it on my computer and I opened it. It started to install, and.....yes, you've guessed it!When it gets to that point to you have the option to "ignore" the error and continue the installation?Allan.....no error messages show....nothing....it just stays there (it flickers now and then, but that's it!)Just a WILD guess but try disabling your anti-virus program before you try installing that program.Thanks soybean, I'll give it a try,,,,,,,PS....as I write, I have it installing on the other tab. This time, when it stops, I will leave it for a full 30 minutes, to see if any error messages come up.Well, I left it for 30 mins, and no error messages showed. I also did as soybean suggested....disengaged my anti-virus and tried again....but still the same thing.
Thanks SOYBEAN and ALLAN for your time in trying to solve this, but looks like I'll have to give-up on this one, and go without the programme.Since it's from a Poker site this is a blessing in disguise...

Some have been known to carry hidden payloads.Patio...you could be right....maybe I should just get on with my photography, and give the gambling a miss.

MSNBC outed Ultimate Bet last week as being under investigation for enabling certain users to cheat their regulars out of tens of millions of dollars. The cheat involved allowing certain customers were able to view the hole cards of opponents. Like other incidences of online poker fraud, this one was an inside job:
