Looks like my case is very stuborn. I downloaded the file, then re-booted, then ran the file. Installed 2.37. It again asked me to allow re-boot so I said "yes". Then I fired up the program from the icon on my start list. Of course, a pop-up asked me whether I wanted to upgrade to 2.42, and I said "no". So now I guess I'm running 2.37. I then fired up PStars and went to a NL cash game on Stars, sat down, and began to play.
Result: Same...have only minimal table overlay, with no posting for each player of statistics, nor table composite, nor stats on myself.
Any idea what I omitted or did wrong? Grrrrrr, this is frustrating! I, too, am on tilt.
PS: I just ran through all of the above steps again, and verified that the program I'm now running is version 2.37....with the same result.
PPS: is there a way that I can uninstall Poker Stars and then reinstall a version that was prior to the 7-29-08 "PO killer" updated verson? Looks like the major change on 7-29 was a "replay" sub-program.
