Hello,

I accidentally deleted some postgresql-folders and therefore this program didnt work any more.

So I uninstalled postgresql and Holdem Manager and tried to install again.

I followed the instructions about installing. So I first tried to install postgresql. The first problem was, thet I couldnt use postgres as account name. But it worked by using postgresuser as account name.

When I tried to initialize database I got the erros:

"The postgresql data directory must be on an NTFS formatted volume".

After checking the FAQ´s I tried the following:

http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=71
(I got the answer from my PC that this is not possible)

which didnt work.

What can I try next? I am using windows NT and I have separated my Disc in different partitions.

Please help.

Choose a partition with NTFS or convert one to NTFS: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456984.aspx

I achieved to convert the Disk. No I get the error:

"The secondary logon service is not running. This service is required for the installer to initialize to database. Please start the service and try again"

What shall I do now? Remember I changed the account name from postgres to postgresuser.

Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> Start "Secondary Logon" service and change it to automatic
