Did it stop working after you did the update and did work before?

PostgreSQL:

Could you check if the service is running? Go to pgAdminIII (Start-->PostgreSQL 8.x--->) and try to connect to the database.
If you can't connect try starting the server (Start-->PostgreSQL 8.x--->Start Server)

Check the Postgre still not running%$*% thread


If it's not PostgreSQL:

The secondary logon service is a standard windows service which is available on every windows computer. In the latest versions it is not started automatically. You need to start it via control panel > administrative tools > services-->Secondary logon service

Under Vista and Windows 7 make sure UAC is disabled http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmmain.aspx?faqid=73 or holdemmanager.exe, hmhud.exe, and dbcontrolpanel.exe must ALL be started as administrator.

Add exceptions to the windows firewall, even if it is off. If you have a 3rd party firewall, do the equivalent or uninstall it temporarily - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afm...aspx?faqid=171

Make sure you have Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (or later for w7) installed.

i did 171 and get the following messages:

A connection to postgreSQL could not be made. Would you like to have HEM attempt to start the service

YES NO

I click yes,

Sorry, HEM was unable to start the service

ok

i click ok,

HEM has started the service. Please try again.

OK

i click ok and try and connect again and all the same thing happens...

I run as admin and it says that HEM started the connection but still can't connect. It says my username and/or password is incorrect and asks if i want HEM to configure the DB w/ these settings, i say yes and it says error couldn't be done...so I'm back in exactly the same spot I was yesterday night...

Ideas? help? I have no idea what to do and I just wanna play some pokers with HEM running like it always has...

PT3's default name/password is - postgres/dbpass
HM's default name/password is - postgres/postgrespass

If that doesnt help:

1. Go to C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.x\data, move the the pg_hba file to your Desktop and open it with notepad.
2. Scroll to the bottom and change all md5 to trust. Save and close the file
3. Move the file back to the data folder
4. Restart the PostgreSQL service: Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services

HM will accept any password now.

If you still cant connect to sql:

This is usually a firewall or windows update issue.

First try to reboot. If that doesnt help delete the \postgresql\8.x\data\postmaster.pid file, if you see it.

If no help, try this:

Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Stop Service

Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Start Service

Add exceptions to the windows firewall, even if it is off. If you have a 3rd party firewall, do the equivalent or uninstall it temporarily - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afm...aspx?faqid=171

Please try following all of these FAQs, step by step:

1) http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afm....aspx?faqid=34
2) reinstall the same version of postgresql, using the same \data folder - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afm...aspx?faqid=177
3) http://www.holdemmanager.net/forum/s...ead.php?t=8261

If that doesn't help you will probably have to reinstall PostgreSQL completely and reimport your hands using these instructions - http://forums.holdemmanager.com/showthread.php?t=20755

when i try and restart postgres it comes up and says:

The PostgresSQL Database Server 8.3 service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.

so now it's working and FTP is working and importing, but PS isn't...also my hud configuration is completely gone and back to default...this normal and any thought on stars?

ok so I'm way confused...if i just open my shortcut it doesn't work. but if i right click and open as admin it works...I thought that if you do it once it always works...also any idea on stars not working???

I followed all the directions in the 1st response to me...It's still not really working unless i right click it, and PS isn't working also...

I'm sure ur as sick of answering this as I am about writing about it and messing with my damn computer...What do I do to just have it work normally like it always has.

PS...the firewall and antivirus are still not running and I still have them turned off, should i turn them back on/reinstall them?

...wtf now I'm way confused PS just started to import...

Which operating system?
*If you have Vista/Windows7, please verify that UAC is off. If it is on, please turn it off and reboot. http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afm....aspx?faqid=73.
Or make sure that holdemmanager.exe and hmhud.exe are started as administrator. Run the windows explorer and navigate to your Holdemmanager installation directory. Right click the holdemmanager.exe, dbcontrolpanel.exe and the hmhud.exe executable and select "Run as admin" from the popup menu under compatibilty.

Its possible that you have to create a new shortcut on the desktop to make this change permanent.
