    That's really odd.  Let's take it point by point.

    When you click on the 'Find a Player' tab on the Download client, what happens?

    But you can click between cash games, SnGs, and MTTS correct?

    If you hover over 'Community' or ''my Sky Poker' do you get any drop down menus?

    This all just sounds odd.  It's beyond me TBH.  I think you need to reinstall again, but make sure every file is uninstalled/deleted.  It's the only thing I can think of, contact Customer Care for some advise as well but it'll probably be hit and miss if someone will be able to help.

    Sorry I couldn't be of any use for this one, never heard of that kind of issue before.

    If your using IE 8 or 9 try downloading mozilla firefox or chrome then try,  sometimes it can be a bug in the Browser that ur using or try resetting IE back to defaults.

    Windamon, odd problem. Mine works perfectly including the Find A Player.
    Are you on the latest version 1.104? (It tells you in the pop-up window where you enter your user ID and PIN).

    Also Adobe Air version? I'm using 3.4.0.2540 which I think is the latest.

    I think it may have been a bug in the previous Adobe Air update. I didn't have problems as bad as Windamon but my Find a Player and My Tables would just show loading...... I tried every combination possible of uninstalling Adobe and the poker download and going back to old versions etc. but nothing worked. Then very strangely after the last time Sky poker crashed for a couple hours a few weeks ago everything was back to normal.The only thing I can suggest is totally removing Adobe and the poker and ALL associated files. There is a programme called Iobit uninstaller that will remove 100% of all files that I use. Then download the latest versions of poker and Adobe direct from the Sky poker website. BTW I'm using Vista and IE9.

    Which browser you use won't have any effect on the download client.

    Why do you think this?

    To me it sounds like something is corrupted or he's not running the latest version of Adobe Air or the Download client.

    Or it could be something else on his pc causing conflicts/ stopping certain functions from working.

    there seems to be lots of little glitches about concerning the download.

    i raised the issue that i cant save my sound preferences a few weeks ago. i want to mute my tables so even tho i save these settings in the main menu, they are completely ignored when i load up a table and also when i log off then back on

    the issue sounds like an adobe air update problem, as it's only happened since the last update, usually removal and re-install solves this, however  try going to the adobe.com download page and downloading the latest version from there rather than the version that comes with the download client package.

    hope this helps

    i haven't down loaded the latest adobe air  up-date as it meant my security system would be switched off for a short period,which doesn't exactly fill you with confidence.
    so i am still running on the older system,which works fine.
    i would do as many have suggested already,delete all old programmes and re-load again.
    good luck
    :)

    apologies, I didn't read OP fully, thought he couldn't do anything on the client but he can play poker.

    if he has clean reinstalled adobe air/ and skypoker client then it is probably something to do with a popup blocker/firewall program preventing the windows from opening imo

    The tables or lobbies wouldn't load if it was that I would have thought.

    I have the same problem.

    Find a player just says searching as does "My Tables"
     
    Havent tried it yet but I remember someone suggested uninstalling flash and reloading the older version as it seams to be a problem with the latest flash version.

    I will try it today and let you know.
