Setup Problem

[Naldinho]

Downloaded HEM and installed it on a new machine running Vista Business Edition.

Exported hands from old machine using PT2 to a text files. Put them on my network drive and had HEM import them.

All seemed to have worked fine except that I'm missing at least 20-30k hands and my $75k Supernova Saturday Freerolls all show up as $0 won even when I finished in the money. Neither were big deals as 30k hands is nothing and I don't play tournaments other the the SN ones.

My problem started when I tried to vacuum the database. HEM requested I do a manual vacuum so I tried.

The first thing I noticed is that my HoldemManager database has a little red X next to it in pgAdmin. When I click on it I get a pop-up stating something about Database Encoding. Apparently I created a database to store SQL_ASCII and I'm attempting to store non-ASCII data in it.

How do I fix this? Does it matter?

Attempts to create a new database as per the instructions I found are failing. It just gives me the option to pick a database name which I do but not option to choose anything else. The whole thing then starts giving out errors.

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

*Try creating a new UTF DB - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=146
*Now import a small portion of your \HMArchive so you can see if the problem exists in the new DB - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=173
*If the new DB seems to work properly, you will want to import the rest of your archives to the new DB, and export/import the hands from the old DB, and then delete the old DB. - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=21
