- Texas Calculatem™ is generally reading the table correctly, but it misreads certain cards
-
If Texas Calculatem™ is misreading the occasionally card, it is usually the case that you have an old version of our software. Click here to download the latest version of Texas Calculatem™.
If you already have the latest version of Texas Calculatem™, then the poker room in which you are may have been recently upgraded, in which case we are probably in the process of updating Texas Calculatem™ in order to maintain compatibility. If the problem persists, please contact us so that we may investigate further.
- Texas Calculatem™ is not attaching to the table at all
-
If your copy of Texas Calculatem™ is no longer giving you the option to attach it to your poker table, it is most likely because the poker room you are using has recently upgraded. Please make sure that you have the most recent version of Texas Calculatem™ by visiting our upgrade page. If the problem persists, please contact us so that we may investigate further.
- Are there any special settings required for Vista users?
-
Some of Windows Vista's enhanced security features can interfere with Texas Calculatem's ability to read the screen at some poker rooms. Please make sure to run the application as administrator and disable the UAC (User Account Control) in Vista.
How to run a program as the administrator:
Right-click on the program, and click on "run as", you will get a small window with the option to select to run it as administrator. Check that option please.
Here is how to disable UAC in Vista:
- Open Control Panel.
- Click on Security
- Click on Security Center
- Click on Other Security settings
- Click on User Account Control
- Select the option "Turn off"
- Texas Calculatem™ is unable to connect to server
-
Texas Calculatem connects to the server for the following reasons:
- To automatically check for upgrades and improvements
- To obtain card location information for the various poker rooms
- For purposes of software fraud prevention
- To check hand count
- How do I unblock Texas Calculatem™ in my internet security program (e.g. Norton Antivirus,)?
-
Internet security programs vary, so we recommend that you check the documentation for your particular software. Here are instructions for some of the more common ones:
Norton Antivirus
You need to open up Norton Internet Security and then click on the Personal Firewall button in the main screen.
Next, click on Configure. Then, choose Programs. Find Texas Calculatem™ in the list of Programs and make sure that the Internet Access column says "Permit All".
Windows Firewall
You'll need to configure the Windows firewall to allow Texas Calculatem™ access to the Internet. Here is link to a resource that explains this.
If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
- My Antivirus program says your program has viruses and spyware.
-
We apologize that we have inadvertently alarmed you. Some anti-spyware applications detect our software as malware or spyware but we can assure you that this is not the case.
When an anti-virus scanner reports a file as being infected, when in fact it is not, that reporting is considered a false positive. Many anti-virus software applications give false positives to tracking software because of how it functions. You can set your anti-virus to allow the process to run.
- I keep receiving Runtime Errors when running Texas Calculatem™
-
Texas Calculatem™ requires the Visual Basic 6.0 runtime. If you are receiving this error, please download & install the Visual Basic 6.0 runtime library.
General
- Texas Calculatem™ says "Deny Wrong Volid"
-
When you have received the error "Deny Wrong Volid" it means that the software is already linked to the computer you first installed it on or you have reformatted your computer. In order to use your license again, you will need to reset it. You can reset it yourself by clicking on I want to move my license to a different computer.
Keep in mind as per our End User License Agreement, your Texas Calculatem license is good for use on one computer at a time.
- What if I already have the poker room I would like to use Texas Calculatem™ on open?

You must launch the poker room through the poker odds calculator interface. If you already have the poker room you would like to use the poker odds calculator on open, you must close it and launch the poker room through the poker odds calculator interface.
- Can I use Texas Calculatem™ on multiple tables?
-
Yes. If you would like to use Texas Calculatem on multiple tables, just open a new table and the attach box will appear on the side of the table.
- Can I use Texas Calculatem™ on two different poker rooms at the same time?
-
Yes. If you would like to use Texas Calculatem™ on two different rooms at the same time, you will have to launch the second poker room through the Texas Calculatem™ icon located on your desktop or in your program files and launch the second poker room through the Texas Calculatem™ interface, just like the first launch.
