Problem with Stars Auto Request Tournament Summaries

Hey,

I am trying to auto-request tournament summaries from Stars so I can import them via POP3 email. I open the window, hit the button to request them and then 1-3 of them will work and be emailed to me but then Stars shows a Tournament History request window with no details filled out and PT2 stalls. If I hit cancel, then stop requesting and hit request again, it will again work for 1-3 of them but then stop again with this window coming up. I have a couple hundred I am trying to request details for so it's frustrating.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

ProjectSix

It works fine for me. Are you using Vista?

Yeah, Vista 32-bit. I am running it as adminstrator too. I had this problem before for a long time, but it'd only do it once in a while and after requesting several summaries at a time.. but now its doing it after only a couple. I am running Stars as administrator too (figured it helped with it creating HHs).

Sometimes it acts flacky like this on Vista, or doesn't work at all for some people. I haven't been able to figure out why.

I'm not a programmer or anything but I had an idea.. is it possible that it isn't keeping up with the 'instructions' that PT2 is giving it? Like it asks to open request window, input data, then request, wait for confirmation window and do the next. What if Vista is having a problem where it processes one step like open request window but before that opens up, PT2 has told it to input the data but the window wasn't up yet so it stalls like it does for me?

Maybe adding a half second or 1 second delay between each step would help? Again just taking a stab, no idea if this would make any difference at all. Might lead you to some similar idea to try though. :)

That's actually probably what is happening, I have added some "yields" before trying to get around just this kind of thing. I'll have to test again.

I've tried, I haven't been able to figure out the problem.
