I wrote"6max layout" when i altered the hud.

[Seat4Sale]

I'm using the latest version of HM,and running it on vista.Got everything working ok,importing etc.
Then i altered a hud layout,and called it 6max layout.it shutdown HM.
Now everytime i try to start it,it says" An error occurred while loading the prefs files: Name cannot begin with'6' character,hexadecimal value 0x36. Line,position6. "
How can i get back into it to change it.[just spent 2 days loading all my hands into it]

i did the same, go into the HM folder where it is and re name - worked for me.

Or do a search to find it and then rename, if you are not sure where it is stored.

Do NOT use numbers when naming stuff

C:\Program Files\RVG Software\Holdem Manager\Config\prefs.xml

you will need to edit "<6max HU........" and "< / 6max>" so there are no numbers

(remove the spaces from < / 6max>)

i have looked in this config file,and i dont have any items that start 6max,i do have NL6max but ,it said fault was with one starting with a 6.

remove the 6 from that and rename it NLsixMax or something else and ill report this bug so it gets fixed.

still didnt work,just had to bin the full file.

Sorry, should have said to edit it in 2 places at the start <NL6MAX and the end </NL6max but you got it sorted now so thats the main thing
