I have a Postgres database saved on my main laptop, but it recently lost the ability to connect to the internet so I cannot access it with PG dump or any other command. I've got over a hundred thousand hands on this computer, is there any way I can transfer all the information over without the internet, Holdemmanager won't even start cause it can't connect to the DB.

Thanks

I believe this should do it:

C:\Program Files\RVG Software\Holdem Manager\dbcontrolpanel.exe

Run that and you should be able to connect to the DB and do a Export Hands.

Then use www.7zip.org, or winzip/winrar to compress them and put them on a usb thumb drive or cd/dvd.

Unfortunately I cannot start Postgres or get holdem manager to connect to the database. I get errors saying that holdem manager is unable to find a connection to 127.0.0.1 and cannot start the service. It then says holdem manager has started the service please try again. I try again and it wants me to be connected to the internet.

You need to get your postgresql service running:
