    Default An error occured while reading the config/Holdemmanager.config file:

    root element is missing.Holdem Manager will now backup the old config file and create a new one.------This is the error message i get when i try to start HEM. So I click ok and then get another error message that says:

    Unhandled exception has occured in your application.If you click continue,the application will ignorethis error and attempt to continue.If you click quit,the application will close immediately.

    cannot create a file when that file already exists.
    under the details tab it says:

    See the end of this message for details on invoking
    just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

    ************** JIT Debugging **************
    To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
    application or computer (machine.config) must have the
    jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
    The application must also be compiled with debugging
    enabled.

    For example:

    <configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
    </configuration>

    When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
    will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
    rather than be handled by this dialog box.
    when i hit continue it does nothing. I run XPsp3 by the way

    1) Make a backup of your C:\Program Files\RVG Software\Holdem Manager\Config folder
    2) Uninstall HM via the Control Panel
    3) Go to Program Files and delete the RVG Software directory, or the equivalent for Vista
    4) Reboot your computer
    5) Install the complete setup of HM: http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloa...demmanager.zip
    7) Download the latest patch HM: http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/HmOmaha.exe
    8) Test if it for a while and see if it work
    9) Close down Holdem Manager and copy the config folder from step 1 and copy and overwrite it to your C:\Program Files\RVG Software\Holdem Manager\Config folder
    10) Test if it works again for a while

    I tried this, but apparently I get the exact same bug report when I do step 9. Now I have to do it all over again - any other ideas?
