Hi

Just after a bit of help.

Not very tech minded and was just wanting to make sure that sky poker runs ok on windows 8 before i go and buy a new laptop.

Cheers.

    Works fine, windows 8 has GUI as a start menu

    you tube for demos before you buy

    Once you get used to it it's fine, going to be a shock through if you don't do a bit of homework on it

    I notice that no one has taken responsibility for windows 8 yet.  They were falling over themselves to take credit for windows 7

    Though Win8 is a piece of turrd, hence I have Classic Shell downloaded so I never ever have to look at the Win8 screen :)

    Hi there - just to be clear, Sky Poker does work fine on Chrome.

    You might want to check your pop-up blockers in the settings.

    Thanks

    Hi
    Then why is it each time I have phoned skypoker support because of problems I have had , they have told me clearly It would be best to unstail google crome because it is not compatabile with skypoker ??, I was adviced by your tech guys to completely uninstail it because of problems yet you say that it works fine ?? I made sure pop up blocker was correct etc, but still had problems, why is it you say it is fine when your tech guys say it is not, and for the record since I now use firefox etc to log in I have had no problems however when using google then had many problems, sorry to be negative but please lets get it straight who is correct because I am now confused Thanks

     I found I had to use IE to download it and then use Chrome after initial download.

    I am using Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit and Internet explorer and I keep getting a message saying sky.exe is not compatible!

    Sky seems to ignore the problem.

    I just carry on! It works most of the time,but is very frustrating when you have a good hand,and you are just folded,due to lag!

    Not new to v8, Win-ders has always had a GUI! Since the 1985s innit. That was the whole point of it.
