America's Cardroom not launching HUD

When I try to set up the poker tracker on America's cardroom it says that Winning poker network can not be detected. Any ideas how to get America's cardroom to work?

You can manually configure the folder where your poker site is saving hands by clicking 'Add'. Also in 'Configure -> Sites & Import Options -> Site Configuration -> Winning Poker Network' make sure the 'Get Hands From Site While Playing' option is enabled.

I really want to buy this software but I have to make sure I can run it first. It says winning poker network does not appear to be installed. I tried the steps you listed above and adding the network didn't work. The launch option for the hud won't allow me to click it. Do I need to reinstall America's Cardroom or something. I have no idea what to do.

This doesn't prevent use of PokerTracker 4 with Americas Cardroom.

With those steps you are not adding the 'network'. The 'Auto Detect' button will only work if the install is detected but if it isn't clicking 'Add' in 'Configure -> Sites & Import Options -> Site Configuration -> Winning Poker Network' allows you to manually perform that process by selecting the folder where Americas Cardroom is set to save your hand history files. By default this is:

C:\AmericasCardroom\HandHistory

You need to make sure that Americas Cardroom is set to save your hands and the location is visible in the Americas Cardroom software via 'Game Info -> View Hand History -> Settings'.

There is no 'launch' option for the HUD. The 'Launch' option in PokerTracker 4 will open the poker site only (if it is detected) but you can start your poker site using it's normal shortcut on your computer. When PokerTracker 4 and your poker site is running and configured correctly then to start importing hands and have a HUD display you select 'Play Poker -> Get Hands While Playing' in PokerTracker 4.

Reinstalling may help PokerTracker 4 detect the Americas Cardroom client but it's not necessary for PokerTracker 4 to work there.
