Need Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

[runner]

I need to know how to get (or at least what files to get) the data base and all of my HEM settings (import files, hud settings, ect.) on to a disc.

So I can restore my computer to original, and then re import them.

Thanks for any help you can give me

Before you uninstall HM:

I want to re-install Holdem Manger without losing all of my settings and preferences. Can this be done? - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=98

You want to make sure you 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.

I would also make sure you manually export the database to hand history text files:

HM > Options > Database Management > Connect > Export Hands

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

Make sure you copy that folder as well as the other stuff I mentioned.

This helps to insure that if anything goes wrong with the backup/restore, you can manually import the exported files to rebuild.


If you want to try and backup/restore your current DB, or try installing using the actual old \data, you can try either of these methods as long as you install the same postgresql version:

If you got postgresql from us, this version should work: http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/postgresql.zip



I those don't work, you will want to install the latest version of postgresql and import your old archived hand history files.

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


Install PostgreSQL 8.4, with your firewall uninstalled or turned off if windows firewall - http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/pgdownload.do#windows
