Hi,
Im a new member and HM user. I also need some help.I cant get past step 10 during the postgres installation. It gives me a dialog box saying "The specified data directory is not empty" and if one already exist i should delete it and blah blah blah.

The only problem is this is my first data directory i know of. So if anybody could give me a hint i would appreciate it.

Apparently you have installed postgresql before. Did you use the trial version of PT3 or HM? The bold step 2 in the instructions below will delete any old, leftover \postgresql\8.3\data.

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
