    Default Black screen with HM2

    Hi

    A fellow of pokerstrategy.fr has a black screen problem with HM2.
    After installation it works. When he shut down and restarts his computer and starts HM2 he gets a black creen.
    He had to install HM2 and postgres on his D Disk, as he does not have enough place on his C disk.

    I suppose he has a capacity problem. Details to his computer:

    processes : 51
    cpu usage 5 %
    physical memory 39 %

    in performances :

    physical memory (MB)
    total 2046
    cached 1265
    available 1253

    free 31

    kernel memory
    paged 162
    non paged 38

    system
    handles 14361
    thread 691
    commit 1135/4093

    Thanks for your answer and regards

    They must make sure they are running as admin and added exceptions to firewalls etc...

    For W7 and Vista you must set \holdem manager\dbcontrolpanel.exe, holdemmanager.exe and hmhud.exe are started as administrator. Run the windows explorer and navigate to you r Holdemmanager installation directory. Right click the executables and select properties... then select "Run as admin" from the compatibility tab.

    Add exceptions to the windows firewall for holdemmanager.exe and hmhud.exe, even if the firewall is turned off. If you have a 3rd party firewall, do the equivalent or uninstall it temporarily.

    Make sure your video card drivers and windows auto updates are fully updated. Run a manual Windows Update and install all updates, including all .net framework updates./

    You need to make sure that this folder

    7/Vista: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\HoldemManager\
    Showing hidden files and sytem files and folders: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tuto...torial151.html
    XP: C:\Documents and Settings\User_name\Application Data\HoldemManager
    Showing hidden files and sytem files and folders: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d....mspx?mfr=true

    is not read only and that all permissions are set to full for your user name. The folder will continue showing read only after that, this is an issue in Windows.

    If the continue to have problems, please reproduce the problem and send the log file to hm2support@holdemmanager.com with a link to this thread. -
