I get an error while trying to launch Gametable for the first time.
This is probably because you don't have Java installed. Open a terminal command line and type java -ver (Windows: Start->Run and type in "cmd" without the quotes. OSX: Go->Utilities->Terminal but OSX should have it already installed). If you get an error, you need to install Java. You may download and install the latest version of Java from here: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

When I launch, there are no pogs in the pogs area, or when I connect I get stuck "Streaming Images" forever.
Make sure you unzip such that it preserves the directory structure of Gametable. there should be a top level directory that contains Gametable.bat and Gametable.jar In that directory, there should be 2 sub-directories called "pogs" and "underlays". If those aren't there, then you need to either create the folders or move them to that directory.
