    Hi I wonder have you tried highlighting text then pressing 'ctrl and c' to copy and then use 'ctrl and v' to paste??

    Good Luck

    Hi Rich,

    I think  I have a 'sound' problem - when playing cash or tounies should there be 'sound effects' i.e when dealing cards and betting,
    On other sites I play on there is but not when I play on sky unless I turn my volume up to max and then I can hear a very faint noise.

    Cheers

    Hi Nigel

    If you open up a table and click on "Options" and then "Volume Control".  This should bring up a slide bar to enable you to increase or decrease the table volume. I'm guessing yours is set all the way to the left which is why your sounds are so quiet.

     Hope this helps.

    how do I get a full screen on my pc when I play Sky poker? Make it simple, I am 72. The table difficult to see even on max. It is too small to be clear to enjoy the game.

    The best you can do is standard view and then zoom in on your own computer. There is no way I am aware of to make it full screen.

    If you are running a PC (Windows) operating system then you could use a magnifier to make things appear bigger, if I remember correctly you used to get one as a standard with windows (go to ->start-> control pannel -> ease of access center) or you can download one from here, http://magnifier.sourceforge.net/


    GL at the tables. :-)

    I tried to magnify the screen, and got nowhere. My son had a look at the problem and changed the resolution, which I will have to do when I play Sky poker, and I must change it back to original setting when I have finished playing. The method he used was....right click on wallpaper screen, graphic property, display settings, open screen resolution, change to new resolution, press apply. The table is much bigger, but not a full screen. I am happy with the new size. Thank you Beaneh for your tips and hints.

    Hi Rich,
    I wonder if you can help?
    I enter a tournament or cash game, the table loads but the right hand side and bottom of the page is not in view.This means that I have no access to the action buttons, raise,check or fold.
    I have been in the control panel and changed my settings but to no avail.
    I have always had this problem with my laptop though it is the first time it has occurred on my desktop.
    I relise that it is probably a PC problem but if you could point me in the right direction I would be much obliged.
    Thanks in hpe.

    WhenI say "not in view" I mean that the end side and bottom of the page are cut off. Reducing the page size does not reveal the rest.

    Hi Gold, can you get the problem to happen again, then press 'Prt Scr' (print screen, should be top right of your keyboard next to scroll lock). Then open Paint and press Ctrl-V (or paste), then upload this picture to a picture hosting site (search 'image hosting' in google there are tonnes to choose from),  take the direct link of your picture and post that here, so that people can physically see the problem you are having. This will help greatly with diagnosing your problem.

    Also giving your computer type, operating system version etc will get you a better answer.

    :-)

    Hi Gold

    I had a similar problem a few months ago and found that I had adjusted my "zoom level" from 100% to I think 75%.  Zoom level shows at the bottom right of this page.

    Hope this helps

    Hi Beaneh, Machka and Kiwini4u.
    Thank you for your time and willingness in trying to resolve my problem.
    It turns out that it was down to 'screen resolution', something that an old duffer like me knows jack about.
    I applaud your efforts. A credit to the site.
    Kind Regards.

    If you're playing for five hours a day I think a laptop would be better than an iPad. No idea how much data you will use though as i've never monitored it.
