This is probably something returning with other apps too, but I have returning right now specific with icimizer. So I am analyzing some hands in Holdem manager and have Pokerstars open for some quick notes in the background. So I finished analyzing, completely forgetting that I still have stars open. So I open icmizer for a daily free one and of course, I get a warning on PokerStars. This is with no bad intentions, but I just forget once in like 10(maybe more) times. I of course do my best to not forget it and get the number even higher, but there will always come again a time I forget.
So I answered stars how to fix this. I got a response, but I, first of all, don't understand the email really good and secondly, I think it is mainly focused on the other way around(opening stars with icmizer open). Although the solution maybe work both ways. I add the email below.
Anyone that maybe can first guarantee me it works(the mail is like keeping a lot open+focused the other way) and explains it very clear to me. Do I need to put the "bat" on icmizer instead?
Thanks a lot in advance for anyone that can help me!
A way of achieving this is by using a batch (.BAT) file to terminate the third party tools before starting the Stars software. A batch file is a text file containing a series of commands or instructions to be executed when it is run. This is done at your own risk and we are unable to provide you with further assistance on how to edit the file. If you feel uncomfortable creating or using this technique, we recommend that you simply manually ensure that prohibited tools are not running concurrently with the Stars software.
Before creating the file, you will need to have the following information handy:
The executable files for all the applications you want to close (for example, ICMTrainer.exe for PokerStrategy ICM Trainer, etc).
The directory where your Stars software is installed (for example, c:\program files (x86)\pokerstars).
To create the file, please follow the steps below.
Open Notepad or any other text editor.
Copy the following into the file:
taskkill /f /IM ProhibitedTool1.exe replace ProhibitedTool1.exe, etc. with the executable files of the third-party tools you would like closed
taskkill /f /IM ProhibitedTool2.exe
taskkill /f /IM ProhibitedTool3.exe
start /d "c:\program files (x86)\pokerstars" pokerstarsupdate.exe make sure the folder name is within quotation marks. In addition, make sure that this is the correct folder location of your Stars software
Remove the instructions from the block of text (text between asterisks).
Save the file under the name of your choice, but change the file extension type to ".bat".
