Hi.
I'm currently trying to get HEM to work on my mac by using a WindowsXP virtual machine via VMWare Fusion.
I've set up Postgresql and the HEM software and managed to import an old DB dump that I had stored on my PC. There are however two problems:
1. When I start up HEM, a download window briefly appears which says "File download - currentversion.html from www.rvgsoftware.com..." and then there's an error saying "Microsoft IE - IE cannot download currentversion.html from rvg....".
I suspect the problem is related to the fact that IE wasn't installed on the virtual machine. Is there any way to tell HEM to use Firefox instead?
This is mainly an annoyance cause I can simply press 'ok' and HEM will start up.
2. When I import files, it seems to work but the hand don't show up.
Example:
I had a new hand history file from ftp for 30/60 limit holdem. I imported this file and it showed the usual progres information and at the end told me it had imported 40 hands. There was however no increase in the number of 30/60 hands on my cash game tab, even after I refreshed and even restared the computer and software.
I also noticed another peculiar thing. There was a player in those hands, let's call him playerX. I checked my database before importing and he was not found in there. After importing the file, I can look up his name and in the lookup window it says he has 40 hands, but once I select him in the Cash Game tab then no hands are displayed. The window is simply empty.
I have one hunch. The hand history text file in question was created on the mac os x side of my computer and copied into the VM. When I open it in notepad there are no line breaks, but instead small boxes where the endlines should be. I tried converting the file using several mactodos utilities but all that did was increase the number of the small boxes between the lines.
thanks for any help,
Wolfram
