just wanted to let u all know i got everything working smoothly....thanks to all of you guys of course!
the trick was to delete the config file(and re-installed...) as was suggested....i also fixed the HUD issues i was having by entering my seating preference into the config....its still not always aligned correctly/where i want them but its not hard at all to move them. right now everything is up and running well on pokerstars with no issues.
not only do i like the HUD layout better than HEM/PT3(including the colored HUD stats), but it runs SOOOOO much better and smoother on my system. as i said in previous posts, the main computer i am using for playing poker at the moment is extremely old(8 years or so) and performance is an actual concern even for playing poker.
thanks again for providing the poker community with useful competitive and
free software tools to help improve our game.
i will check up on this thread and let you guys know of any issues or problems i experience and hopefully can contribute to the development of this software.
