on going error

[syracuse44]

i keep getting some sort of error massage it has been doing it for over a month and i just keep reseting my machine to get it working again. the message goes = unhandled exeption has occurred in your application. unable to read data from the transport connection. an existing connection was forcibbly closed by the remote host. and it makes me hit quit. i have used HM for over 9 months and it has never givin me any problem till 2 months ago when it starded doing it.

That is a problem with the postgresql installation, usually caused by windows updates. The first thing you should try for that error is to delete the \postgresql\8.x\data\postmaster.pid

Then try a reboot.

If no help, try this:

Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Stop Service

Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Start Service

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

i fig i could just delete holdem manager and postgreSQL8.2 and then redownload them and start new but when i go and download the postgre8.2 it gives me a message= this installation package could not be opened. verify the package exists and that you can accsess it or contact the application vendor to verify that this is valid windows installer package. i had postgre8.2 in my original running HM. but downloaded 8.3 does that make a diff i could not find 8.2

You should use Postgresql 8.4 if you are planning to reinstall.
