    Default Installing HEM On A Different Partition

    Greetings,

    If I install HEM on the D: Partition I do so because if my computer won't boot, I don't want to have to erase my HEM data with a fresh install of Windows.

    Despite installing HEM on the D: Partition, I see files from HEM all over my C: Partition. Please ensure that future installs will cause all HEM files to be installed on the selected Partition, not just some.

    Thanks

    HoldemManager will always install some files to the C:/Users/ folder.
    Other programs (and games) usually do the same.

    The files HoldemManager installs to C:/Users are all files you don't need to backup.


    The only important HoldemManager files are stored in the /HoldemManager/Config folder, which will be on your D:/ partition if that's where you installed the program.

    Hi,

    I am having trouble setting up Holdem Manager on my 2nd laptop. I have installed it but the problem I am having is this;

    'the following error occurred when trying to open the database : FATAL 28000
    password authentication failed for user "postrgres"'

    If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it as I have no clue. Ive tried to install progress but it wont let me.

    Before reinstalling PostgreSQL, delete the postgres user first.

    click on Start and go to Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt

    * If you are on Vista, rightclick and choose "Run as Administrator".


    A black box should appear. Type 'net user postgres /delete' (without the quotes) and press enter.

    The user is now deleted and you can (re)install PostgreSQL.

    ok i have this problem now.

    'the following error occurred when trying to open the database: unable to read data from the transport connection: an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host'

    I uninstalled postgres like you said and tried to reinstall using their 'combo install postgres'. I believe this failed for some unknown reason.

    Any ideas what I need to do?

    Try the manual installer from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database
    Try 9.0.x first. And install it to port 5433
