View Full Version : PostgreSQL & Win Vista Update issues

Everytime windows vists update runs (which is like all the time) it screws up PostgreSQL.

If I follow this guide:
http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmmain.aspx?faqid=171 it fixes the problem, however Windows Vista update seems to run like once a week.

Is there a solution to this? I have now re set up postgresql/holdem manager about 3 times and I don't want to do it any more.

What exactly are you doing from the FAQ?

Last time, I followed the guide all the way down to reinstalling Postgresql.

Works fine after that, but like I said, as soon as micro$oft release a new vista update, I have to go through it again which is quite annoying!

What other information do you need? (Sorry, am a bit of a noob)

Normally its not necessary to reinstall postgresql.
It should be something like configuring firewall exceptions or checking your hosts file.

I suggest next time you have problems you come back with an error description and we will help you to fix it.

Many questions. I try to sort it out.

When you install Postgresql 8.4 you will loose your 8.3 data. Are you sure that is what you wan't.

The reinstallation of 8.3 finds the old data. The FAQ explains you what to do: http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=177

I hope the FAQ link works otherwise please try via www.holdemmanager.net -> Support

Ok i dont want to lose my data so 8.4 is not option. I have followed the fax to the letter and i am still getting this error.

failed to establish a connection 127.0.01

and i am running vista and i have made sure i am runing the exe as admin. and i made sure UAC is disabled.

i also run norton 360 software as my only anti virus software it has never gave me any porblems before running holdem manager so i cant see this being the problem . and i have windows defender disabled.

I think the easiest is if we arrange a teamviewer session. Prepare Teamviewer (http://www.teamviewer.com) with the default settings and send the teamviewer id and password via mail to netsrak@holdemmanager.net so i can connect to your system.
