First, I had the Vista SQL connection problem that a lot of people had not too long ago and spent countless hours using the info in various threads trying to resolve it. In the end I had to uninstall everything-Holdem Manager, Spybot, Avast and reinstall. I lost my database and had to reimport everything. Needless, to say I want to avoid this again at all costs.
Now, I'm having problems again. This is getting very frustrating. I dowloaded OpenOffice.org 3.0 which is a popular alternative to Microsoft Office:
http://www.openoffice.org/
Now I can't connect to Holdem Manager. I get the following messages:
When I start HEM a pop up box says: "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 click OK and the UAC needs to be off box pops up-it is off.
I then try to connect to PostgreSQL and get the same message as above followed by a host of messages that say stuff like System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: a connectio was forcibly closed at System.Net.Sockets.Receive(Byte[]buffer,Int32 offset,Int32 size,SocketFlags socketFlags) at etc etc.
I see that OpenOffice.org uses SQL as well and (grrrrrr) has maybe caused the problem.
My questions are:
1. I need to use HEM, how do I connect?
2. Can 2 programs that both need SQL work together? I'd rather not ship $100+ to Microsoft just for Excel because I can't add my bonus and deposit information to HEM's reports.
I've already tried the basic stuff like rebooting and starting PostgreSQL in services-says started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs. Startup type:Automatic
Please help.
