[justdoit]

hm2 is not saving the preferred positions

- Please export your HUD's in HUD Options.

See this screenshot for exporting HUD's:

- Then delete the prefs file in the config folder in*
8/7/Vista: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\HoldemManager\

XP: C:\Documents and Settings\User_name\Application Data\HoldemManager



- Import your HUD's again.

- Set your seating preferences to match the site's seating preferences.

If there is none:
set it to "-" for the right HUD and site for each game type/# of players.
Open one table, make sure positions line up.
Click settings on the summary HUD on the table, find the HUD name, click Use for all

* You will need to show hidden and system files. See this tutorial for showing system and hidden files:

See this screenshot for location in win 7 for the prefs files:

[justdoit]

do i have to run it as administrator even if my account is an admin account?

[Patvs]

Yes, add additional administrator privileges to HoldemManager.exe, etc... or turn off UAC and reboot.

[justdoit]

i always have UAC OFF ....

[Patvs]

Then try turning it on.... set the manual exceptions (right-click--> properties) for all the HoldemManager files.

[justdoit]

i dont want to have it on
is that the only option?
