There are no problems using w7 and HM. I just helped a customer that upgraded to w7, and all he needed to do was turn on the secondary logon service.
Under Windows 7 you must set \holdem manager\dbcontrolpanel.exe, holdemmanager.exe and hmhud.exe to be started as administrator. Run the windows explorer and navigate to your Holdemmanager installation directory. Right click the executable's and select "Run as admin" from the compatibility tab.
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 > right-click > start AND right-click > properties > startup type: automatic.
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/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=171
Please update to the latest beta - http://www.holdemmanager.net/hmbetaupdate
*If that doesn't help, please answer these questions - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=174
Windows 7 ultimate here.
- Uninstalled everything with Revo Uninstaller!
- Reinstalled the software Up to date today.
- I have UAC disabled and Comodo firewall where I added hmhud, holdemmanager.exe and dbcontrolpanel also as a trusted application. I even tried to turn off all firewalls even windows fw however it is always off.
- Started secondary logon and selected it to start automatically always.
-Tried to run as admin and it is interesting that hmhud and dbcontrolpanel runs perfectly with postresql but when I try to start holdemmanager.exe I get the following error message (clicking continue does not starts the software):
"U
nhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click continue the app. will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit the app. will close immidiately.
The type initalizer for '<Module> ' threw an exception."
- If I click details I get the following:
"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."
