The first start of the Partypoker application went fine and I was able to login into Partypoker and play Poker games. The next time I tried to start the Partypoker application I witnessed something that left me puzzled for a while. The application would not start.

Clicking on the Partypoker icon would load something from the hard drive but the Partypoker interface would not appear. I took a quick look at the taskmanager and saw that the partygaming executable was indeed running. The question remained, why was the Partypoker application not appearing in Windows Vista ?

I first thought it was a problem with some of the new security applications that were running by default in Windows Vista. Disabling them did not help me at all though. The next idea was to start Partypoker as an administrator and guess what: The Partypoker application appeared and I was able to login and play my games again.

So, if you run into the same problem try running Partypoker as an administrator.
