Sorry, forgot OS, etc.  

MacOSX v. 10.6 on 13.3" Macbook 2GHz Intel Core Duo.

The weird thing is that it worked for a full 6 hours or so 6-tabling, then 
stopped working.

Benedictlemon,

The preferences file that we're referring to isn't the .plist, but is instead 
the
file ~/Library/Preferences/com.pokerstars.user.ini

If you can check the permissions on that, and make sure that it's still where 
it's
supposed to be, then we can go from there.  Thanks for the report!

RESOLVED :-)

Thanks!  I resolved the issue by trashing user.ini and restarting pokerstars.

Great!  I'll close this off, then.
