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 reinstalling SQL to a new/empty DB, please follow these steps:

1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
2) manually delete or rename the Program Files\Postgresql folders
3) run the command - start > run > cmd >

net user postgres /delete
4) reboot.
5) Install PostgreSQL 8.4, with your firewall uninstalled or turned off if windows firewall - http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/pgdownload.do#windows

first of all, thx for your answer!
i tried all the steps but i had the following problems


7. Repeat the above steps and add holdemmanager.exe and HMhud.exe from the same folder. Then repeat again, but this time browse to this location C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.x\bin and add the following two programs in there:
pg_ctl.exe
postgres.exe

=> i couldnt find these two exe files...

when i tried to install postgres 8.4 they asked me for a password but it was always incorrect, now i couldnt find that password anymore... (although i was convinced i knew it)

how can i solve this problem?

thx in advance

Uninstall every postgresql installation.

run the command - start > run > cmd >

net user postgres /delete

This will delete the user and the password.
Restart the installation of Postgresql 8.4
