PC Crashed, HEM is no longer updating my sessions.

Vista, Full Tilt, HEM 1.09 beta 26. Most recent patch has been installed. Full Tilt and HEM are running as administrator. UAC disabled. HH's are being placed in the correct folder by Full Tilt. HEM has the FT HH folder specified to import. HH's are in English.

I did see 1263 files in my HH folder. I tried to have HEM import the bunch, but it said there werent any files to analyze. I dumped all of the HH's from the FT HH directory into a new folder, had HEM import those, but they were all duplicates.

Following the advice from my last database problem http://www.holdemmanager.net/forum/showthread.php?t=14191 I created a new database (aug09) and imported those 1263 hands to test if it's a corrupt database. This new database has been tested, and is properly updating my sessions.

This is the third database I've had to make in the past month. Do you have any suggestions on how I can prevent databases from dying/corrupting like this?

Every PC crash damages data.
You should do regular backups of the database and the handhistories:

and you should try to stabilize your computer system

Once again my database is not updating. This database is super new too. Should I consider reinstalling postgres and HEM and starting from scratch with both?

Thanks in advance for posting links on those items if you think they are good routes to pursue.

You need to find the source of the problem which i guess is not postgresql or HM. Maybe your operating system installation is corrupt or you have a hardware problem.
