There are a couple of things that I would request as future enhancements to VPW.
Change the way the "error hands" are presented. Currently, you can pull up a screen that displays all the hands you've played during a session on which you have made errors. There are several options but the one that concerns me is that you have to select each hand that you wish to "replay". It would be a great enhancement if you could select an option to just present ALL of those hands to you in the form of a session so that you didn't have to select each one you wanted to replay.
VPW seems to really eat up CPU cycles. Looking at Task Manager while a session is in progress shows that 99% of the CPU is dedicated to VPW. This literally kills anything else that has any demand on the CPU. Is there any way to make the software more "efficient?"

Good suggestions, MikeA, and I will make sure the right people read this thread for other suggestions/requests as well.

Am I missing something? Cannot maximize VP screen in VPW. Difficult for us old folks to see. Mr. Dancers old product had friendlier graphics.

It is true that there is no full screen mode in VPW. Other than that, however, I do not think there is video poker software with more authentic graphics available anywhere (closer to the actual games). I certainly understand the size issue and that it would make it easier to view in a full screen mode for a lot of people.

I saw a couple of other minor things that I would like to see in VPW. Both would seem to be very minor program enhancements (that, coming from a programmer).
1. I would like to see the hand distribution of a "session." That is, how many FH, ST, SF, 4OK, Trips, 2-pair, HOB were "hit" during the sesson. This should correspond pretty closely to the way strategy is laid out for specific pay tables. This could include the percentage of the win that particular winning value contributed.
2. Back to the "errors" or "mistakes" eludded to in my first post:
2a. I would like to see "hidden", the way I originally played the hand
2b. I would like to see in the analysis the cost of the error. That factor is shown when the error settings are tight enough to display the error while the hand is being played, but it would be nice to emphasize the cost of the error on the analysis.

I want to install VPFW on my home desktop AND my laptop. We often travel to casinos and would like to use the laptop along the way for practice. Is this possible of do I have to buy 2 copies?
