If you have recently been online, you should be able to use HEM offline. In some rare cases, your PC wont allow this, and we arent sure why.


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.

Make sure you export your tournament summaries: Tourney > Results > Dataview > All Hands > Right-Click > Export Tourney Results and Summaries.

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 have Vista, please verify that UAC is still off. - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmmain.aspx?faqid=73. If it is on, please turn it off and reboot.

Turn off Windows Firewall for installing HM and PostgreSQL. You must also add exceptions to the Windows firewall, even if it is off. If you have a 3rd party firewall, uninstall it completely before installing HM/SQL - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=171

* Install the complete setup of HM: http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/holdemmanager.zip
* Download the latest patch HM: http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/HmBetaUpdate.exe

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


Start Holdem Manager and connect/create a new UTF DB.

Search the FAQ for the setup guide for your poker site:

http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmmain.aspx


Now you can import your old hands to the new 8.4 DB.


You can also try a backup/restore of the old DB, if you use the same postgre version.
