Title: IT help on skypoker
Post by: Snatiramas on November 19, 2008, 10:58:50 AM
Hiellllppp!!!!

I have an Asus 901 netbook running xp. I have the latest version of Adobe flash. The welcome screen on skypoker comes up okay. When I open a table though the bottom half of the chat box and betting box are not visible due to the frame of the embedded window. Now I have tried to change the size of the table window but it will not do it.
I have tried every single display setting i can find. No good. I have removed adobe and tried firefox. No good.

The problem that this causes is that when I get timed out in a sit n go tourney as happened last night, I cannot see the i'm back button to click on. This is a tad annoying as you watch your £20 getting blinded away

Anybody got any ideas....it has kind of stumped me

I know of several people who've had problems with SkyPoker (not this issue specifically), and they are all using Internet Explorer.  If you are using IE, try using Firefox and see if you have the same problem.

Just an idea.

Not really!

I have re-read it, and I'm not sure what 'uninstalled adobe and tried firefox' actually means though.  The Flash plug-in for Firefox is different to the one for IE.  So Snatty, have you tried updating the Flash plug-in for Firefox?

What screen resolution are you running Snatty?

It just sounds like the sky poker table is bigger than your screen - hence it won't all fit on.

Is the Asus one of those mini laptops?  If it is, that could be the issue. 

Just had a look and it has a resolution of 1024×600 - and I'm now going to go and measure the SkyPoker tables for you...

...and yes, they're 620 pixels (or thereabouts) tall.  So they won't fit on your screen.  I'm guessing it's not allowing you to scroll either, as the window it loads in doesn't have scroll bars enabled.

That feels correct. But I also used a setting that is 1024 by 768. No good....arrrgh

Try google Chrome, I have found it works best on my Netbook out of all the browsers currently available (that I have tried).
