Hello all, this is my first post. I have recently encountered a problem with bb7. It has worked for me for about a week but now whenever I start it, within 2 puzzles it restarts my computer. Has anyone else had this problem before? Any ideas on why it started happening lately?
??? Thanks in advance ???
I haven't had any problems. Sounds like you have a virus/spyware on your pc. Try scanning your pc for viruses using an anti-virus program and download Spybot Search & Destroy to get rid of any spyware.
Welcome to the group. :D
ya for somthing so serious as restarting your computer im sure it has to be more than an auto play program causing it..
ure computer must of crashed will the program was on i dont think BB7 made it crash

ouch...like John said..

you know darkearthgodds you could have just clicked the little modify button on your post to fix that ;)
O i didnt even know what that botton was for lol.
its pretty nice i've used it a few times :)
Technology is sweet isnt it ;D
i have a habit of reading mouseovers in my status bar but if all else fail I click to see what it is.
to bad we can't have "mouseovers " on people we meet to know true intentions :P
Yeah we dont have that type of advanced technology yet lol.
ok, so i used SpyHunter to scan my computer and found 62 spyware items!!! >:( >:(
But how do I remove them? I have to purchase the full version to do that, but is the program worth the $30 bucks? Anyone who has used it before I would be happy to hear comments about it's effectiveness.
i dont know much about spyhunter.. but you should download spybot search and destory its a great spyware remover and its FREE, its really simple to use! trust me its a definite must have ;) here's the link http://www.safer-networking.org/ (http://www.safer-networking.org/)
I use ad-aware it's totally free ;D
and it will remove spyware
yea ad-aware is great too i got both ad-aware and spybot S&D ;D
< here's the link for ad-aware > http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/)
hey Element whats the different between ad-aware and spybot
they both do the same thing there're just different programs ;)
it doesnt hurt to have both of them one might find somthing the other missed. i like ad-aware's interface better though than spybots.
o ok :)
hey goatblls here is the link to a free anti-virus system http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php (http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php) its pretty nice, i use it and it works just fine ;)
Hey all and thanks for such a prompt response! I realized that I had installed the non-free version of spy blocking software. Thanks for redirecting me to the good stuff. Everything is working fine again and I'm earning tokens like a madman.
;) ;D
:P LOL im glad i could help ya ;)
hey element if i get AVG could you tell me how to use it please i need an anti virus software
yea sure.. just download the free edition, its pretty simple and it has an easy interface just like any other program ;)

Drop the Crack pipe 'cause crack will kill ya or mess up your computer. :P
you notice he hasn't said a word since then, read his other post its the same exact thing. thats just sad.... ::)
Doesn't surprise me. ;)
Erick should update BB7 and make it smarter ..lol
The only thing PopBuddy has that BB7 doesn't is manual play w/solution.
Which is really nice, but I think both perform about the same in terms of how fast it can find the 'best' solution.
I'm still on an old pc (800 mhz) and both seem to average about 30 solutions per second with all balloons left on screen. Which means I don't get anywhere near 50-80k tokens per hour. More like 20k per hour, and that's with 60 second timer.
I'm not complaining at all, I love BB7. Manual play isn't a bad idea either. After all, if your at your pc you wanna play the game right?
At least that way you can click the solution manually without those time out errors.
One thing that could make BB7 smarter, is a re-run check. There were times a single run would find 1 balloon left, it would pop 40 as usual. When the re-run ran, it only found 4 balloons left after the time was up.
It doesn't always happen, but had it checked the previous solution I would have been happy with that.
I have to admit playbuddy is much faster and efficient which also means it could be that much easier to be caught. :(
what level 1 or 3
i just realized if your doing it the way you said on the post above level 3 would be the best (more tokens) ;D // i played the way you said and so far its went throu 51 games and STILL no tokens :(
<edit> 121 games and still nothing, im giving up on that stratedgy..lol
i just tried playbuddys and i get this messege : Error: Acess violation at 0x0040e529(tried to read from 0x000806dd),program treminated??????? it only picks up the 2 far left lines and then pops them and says this messege??? any help what should my playbuddy settings be on? new game after 10 seconds or pop best solution? i want to compare the 2 to see which one i want to purchase if i can get it to work from the sounds of it playbuddy is better tph ratio
LOL if you play a new game every 3 seconds, then there's no way you could have won 1000 tokens a min. Much less 80k per hour.
If you attempt to get a new puzzle every 3 seconds, then I might see that happening. Everytime you start a new puzzle, it hogs the cpu and does really well at figuring it out, but then just settles down.
What I meant was, BB7 settles down after about 30 seconds. Initially it hogs cpu resources during the first few seconds, same goes for a re-run.
I don't know what it does for pop buddy. I've never seen it work that fast unless you got a fast pc.
If you were using BB7, there's no way you'd get that many tokens with only a 3 second timer. That is why element or I have not had success with that method.
So congrats, pop buddy is the winning choice. I would prefer to play manually though if it's that fast, just in case.
im running highest color my edges are smooth and still nadda for popbuddy???? they site says its caused by other programs running but im not running any??lol i redownloaded it and still nadda so for now i guess bb7 is my winner ???
my bad sorry my edges are NOT smoothed lol other wise i couldnt use run word games and other programs ;) my fingers are just at whits end between here and trying to get playbuddy to reply before my trial runs out :'(

I have well over 100 accounts to choose from, so it's easy for me to keep pogo of guard.
man how many e-mail addys do you have...... :P
Thanks for clearing that up. Yes, BB7 uses a bunch of cpu resources in the first few seconds when searching for solutions. (You'll notice it says 'thinking') Then it will slow down a bit to continue searching.
I have noticed that during the thinking process it does very well at finding solutions, even on a re-run. Most of the time it does well.
I would like to submit my own method for BB7 though. It does well for me. It might even help other people with slow or older pc's.
90 seconds
Get new puzzle
1 second pause
Pop immediately with at least 3 balloons
No re-run
Skill Level 1
boo on sun java lol nope still no luck getting it to work ill just keep banging my head against the desk till it looks like it works lol thanks for all the suggestions maybe playbuddy will have a fix, as for bb7 i run 5 sec/ best solution,no pause, pop immediatly @0, rerun @40 seems to work weel around 40-50k tph
bb7 dont work period.. well for me it dont
yea i think your alone on that opinion chops. (maybe trial ran out....) LOL im kidding :P
OMG dj let me get off the floor from laughing.......... i just went to play buddy to post about my problem and was wading through the forum when this kid says: what did u guys do to popbuddy?
<edited by John>
you guys are cheap
Interjaculate-Disappointed popbuddy user
