[pogo_gamer]

I requeated help from pogo because I kept getting booted from pogo golf on the 15 or 16 hole saying my puter doesn't have enough memory, so I followed the old rule of thought, deleted cache etc all to no avail, my puter has 2 GB of ram and 271.60 GB free on my hard drive, so am sure it's on pogos end but not positive

my question is this, this is the response I got back from pogo and not sure if I should upload these files and possible be spied on for cheats, can they find that I have cheats installe on my puter

there reply is as follows

Hi there,

Thank you for contacting Pogo.com Technical Support.

In order to provide you with better assistance, we will need more information about your computer.  We have developed an application that will summarize your system information for you and create a file that you can send to us.

First you'll need to download the application:

- Go to http://support.pogo.com and click on the Utilities button at the top right.  Then click on the "Easy Info – Pogo Edition" link.  When prompted, choose Save and save the file to your Desktop.

-- This will create an icon on your Desktop named "EasyInfo v2 for Pogo.exe".

- Although the EAsy Info program is easy to use, you'll need to reference the instructions for running, saving, and sending us the information.  As you may need to do this offline, we've drafted some steps that you can save to your Desktop.  Click on the following link or paste it into your browser: http://support.ea.com/cgi-bin/ea.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=10318

- The instructions should open in your browser.  Click on File at the top left of the window and choose Save As. (If you using IE 7 you may have to click the Alt button to make the Menu bar appear in order to see the File menu.) Save the file on your Desktop.  This will place a text file called "EAsyInfo Instructions for Pogo" on your Desktop.

- Once you have both files downloaded, open the "EasyInfo Instructions for Pogo.txt" file and follow the instructions.

NOTE: If the EasyInfo program does not open, or prompts you for which program you would like to use to open it, you will need to modify the filename to open it. Please right-click on the icon for the EasyInfo program and select 'Rename'. Add ".exe" (without the quotes) to the end of the filename so that it reads as: EasyInfo v2 for Pogo.exe

Please send us the 'EasyInfo.htm' file (as mentioned in the set of instructions you saved to your Desktop) with your next reply. This will help us to assist you further.

Sincerely,

Pogo Jonathan

Me personally, I wouldn't run it. Not because I think it will harm your pc but more because by running it you are giving pogo open license to search your pc.

I would try the usual things like deleting your java objects switching java and/or browser

I agree 100% with Homer.

This is what that link stated:

We have developed an application to try and make it a little easier for our members to do some simple maintenance on their own as well as provide some system information in case the basic maintenance does not help.

What is in BOLD worries me. :oo
