Turn User Account Control (UAC) off
If you don't have "run" in the start menu:
start > right click in open area of launch menu > properties > start menu > customize > click run command
If you have "run" in the start menu:
start > run > type 'msconfig' > tools > disable UAC > launch (might have to restart)
Disable Desktop Composition in Stars
start > computer > C: > program files > pokerstars folder > right click pokerstars > properties > compatibility > disable desktop composition > apply
Pokersite: Run as administrator
if UAC is turned off then I believe this should already be taken care of.
Otherwise it is in the same window as desktop composition.
Windows: Turn Aero Off
right click desktop > personalize > windows color and appearance > windows vista basic > ok
Windows: 32 bit mode
right click desktop > graphic properties > display setting > 32 bit > ok
Windows: Border padding set to 1
right click desktop > personalize > windows color and appearance > advanced > item > border padding > set to 1 > ok
secondary issues
having AHK scripts run as administrator (UAC turned off should take care of this)
making sure all the script files are not corrupted
