Computer ID?

tdomboski · 03-16-2008, 01:07 PM

Hello,

I recently bought a used laptop computer, and downloaded an internet poker program. I went to register an account with them and they denied me because someone had already made an account on that computer in the past. I went to another wifi area, and uninstalled/installed, and the same thing happened....so its not the IP.

How do they recognize this laptop as one that has created an account before. Is there a comouter ID or something they see? Is there a way to make it so they would not know that the computer has set up an account with them?

Would appreciate any help.

Sounds like it has nothing to do with the internet, but that someone has already installed or tried to install that game on your laptop.

Try deleting and trace of the program and run a registry cleaner to get rid of any trace of it.
