Please be sure that HM actually updated properly and it says 1.09 Beta 20 in the title bar.

If you have Vista, please verify that UAC is still off. (http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmmain.aspx?faqid=73) If it is on, please turn it off and reboot.

If that doesn't help, please answer these questions. (http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=174)

I am updating my pokerstars client now and plan on testing it soon. I have seen a couple other reports of this tonight.

......

9) Have you attached the holdemmanager.config file?
don't know what this is or how to do it



9) Please attach your holdemmanager.config file from C:\Program Files\RVG Software\Holdem Manager\Config folder.


If your extensions are off you'll just see a file called holdemmanager. To attach it to a thread in the forums, look below the post reply button when you start a new thread and you'll see a manage attachments button. Click this and attach the file.

Can you please zip and email some of the HHs to me at fozzy@holdemmanager.net with a link to this thread. I will try to import them here and see what happens.

5) Are the hands being imported into Holdem Manager?
no

5a) Do they import if you create a new database?
no
.....

They imported with 0 errors for me (see attached). I think there is something wrong with your PostgreSQL installation, and a reinstall is likely the fastest/easiest solution.


I suggest you export your DB to text files, as an extra archive in addition to your \HMArchive folder.

How do I export or import hands into and from Holdem Manager? (http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=173)


These next things are not necessary for reinstalling only SQL, but they are good to know in general.

Backup your Processed/Archived hand histories, your entire \config folder, and your exportednotes file. (http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/?f=119) I usually just copy my entire \Holdem Manager directory.




For uninstalling SQL please follow these steps:

-Download Revo Uninstaller and use it to uninstall PostgreSQL. After it uninstalls it will give you options to select and delete all the associated registry entries.
- manually delete the Program Files\Postgresql folders
- run the command - start > run > cmd >


net user postgres /delete

- reboot.
- install again, with your firewall uninstalled or turned off if windows firewall


Logging:

I would suggest you turn off logging on your new SQL installation as well as these other performance improvements - Top 10: HEM performance increase tips
(http://208.109.95.123/forum/showthread.php?p=62613&posted=1#post62613)

To turn off logging, follow these instructions. This is the first thing I do anytime I install SQL for someone.

- Start > My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > View > UnCheck 'Hide Extensions for known file types' > OK

- C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\data\postgresql.conf > Right-Click > Open With.. > NotePad > Check 'Always use this program'

- Scroll about half way down to ~Lines 245 - 260:

- The last line of this block of code, for the 'logging_collector', must be changed from On to Off.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ERROR REPORTING AND LOGGING
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# - Where to Log -

log_destination = 'stderr' # Valid values are combinations of
# stderr, csvlog, syslog and eventlog,
# depending on platform. csvlog
# requires logging_collector to be on.

# This is used when logging to stderr:
logging_collector = off # Enable capturing of stderr and csvlog

File > Save; File > Close

Start > Programs > PostgreSQL 8.3 > Reload Configuration.

*edit:
- Start > My Computer > C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\data\pg_log, or C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\data\pg_log, if you have 64 bit Vista. Delete all files in that folder. And it might be a good idea to empty your recycle bin at that point, or use a 3rd party utility like CCleaner to clean up all your junk/temporary files. You want to do this before you get to the vacuum and defrag process.

Your PostgreSQL installation and DB can get corrupted/damaged for no apparent reasons sometimes. It can happen during power outages while importing, but a lot of times it's difficult to tell what caused it. It may be possible to deduce (by someone way smarter than me), by going thru the SQL log files, but I personally recommend you turn off logging for performance/storage issues. It's typically a pretty quick process to reinstall, and most people can reimport their old DB text files while they sleep at worst.

How do I do this part?

"- run the command - start > run > cmd >


PHP Code:
net user postgres /delete "
