Please try this http://holdemmanager.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8182 and if the problem persists then please try to start the PostgreSQL service as shown in this FAQ http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=34 then after a while it will fail and give an error please copy and paste this error and then go to Control panel > Admin Tools > Event Viewer > Windows Log > Application error and look near the top for an red error sign, click on this and view the details of the error and post it here

finally make sure UAC is disabled http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=73

Your going to start > program files > PostgreSQL > PGAdminIII

You need to go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Then scroll To PostgreSQL Database Server and press start

And I made a mistake, clicked on the second link to begin with, needed to be the first off course

but then I have to add 127.0.0.1 localhost to that file

But do I have to add it Below : ::1 localhost

or where

Your control panel is where all your settings are, where you go to add remove programs etc goto the start menu and youll see it if you look

You can put the 127 thing below it

Aha.. We call it the configuration 'window' lol

But like I said , i can't edit and then save the 'hosts' file

I doubt the control panel is what I thought it was

I have the dutch version of Vista and cant find anything of what you say

LocosR

did you try HM again?
posgreSQL starting or stopping is only a black box for a second or 2

Sorry, Holdem Manger was unable to start the service

OK I need more info!
Did HM ever work before?
Are you new to HM and trying to configure it?
Did you install posgreSQL BEFORE (first) HM?
Did you turn OFF UAC?
Are you logged into Vista as an ADMIN?

This is my first time I use HM

Are you new to HM and trying to configure it?

Yes
Did you install posgreSQL BEFORE (first) HM?

Almost at the same time, I think HM was first

Did you turn OFF UAC?

I only have an administrator account, and couldnt find something like that

Are you logged into Vista as an ADMIN?

See my previous answer;)

I dont see where it says you have to install postregsql first btw..
It said it RIGHT WHERE YOU DOWNLOADED HM on the home page!
Make sure you READ ALL THE INSTRUCTION & FOLLOW 100% CORRECT

LocosR
06-02-2009, 03:50 PM
But is that it?

I've done that like 10 times now

Ok if you can stop and start it without errors then its most like the host file that needs fixing and if vista dosent allow you to save changes in that file its because you have UAC turned on

So disable UAC http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=73 then reboot, then make the change to the host file http://holdemmanager.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8182

The you can either restart the service again or just reboot, either will work.

If you still cant figure it email me to arrange a teamviewer session for tommorrow as its late here and also link to this thread morny@holdemmanager.net
