sorry if this is wrong section of forum; but couldn't figure out where to ask.

when i get to "initialize database clusters," i keep getting the error message

"The specified data directory is not empty. If you have an existing database with the same major version number, you do not need to initialize a database cluster. If you have an existing database with a different major version you need to backup your old database and create a new one.'

I used the search feature and found that it's common, but couldn't figure out how to fix it. I tried following the uninstall directions but keep getting the same message.

thanks in advance

Please update to the latest beta - http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/HmBetaUpdate.exe.

Vista: Turn off UAC - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=73

Turn off Windows Firewall for installing HM and PostgreSQL. Once you get those installed you can add exceptions to the firewall. If you have a 3rd party firewall, uninstall it completely before installing HM/SQL - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=171

For uninstalling SQL please follow these steps:

1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.

2) manually delete the Program Files\Postgresql folders

3) run the command - start > run > cmd >

net user postgres /delete

4) reboot.
5) Install PostgreSQL again, with your firewall uninstalled or turned off if windows firewall, using postgresql 8.4.0-1 - http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/pgdownload.do#windows
