Hi,

I had to do a pc recovery because i got infected with a virus. All of my files are intact, however any software that i installed has been removed.

Is there still a way I cant retrieve my notes?? Thanks.

The notes are in your database so you need to restore your database first.

Do you have your \postgresql and \holdem manager folders?

If so, you can reinstall your old DB using the same \data folder.


Did you ever export the notes to their own file? If so those could imported later, if you are unable to reuse the old database, and have to reimport your archived hands.



Under Vista and Windows 7 make sure UAC is disabled http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmmain.aspx?faqid=73 or else you must set \holdem manager\dbcontrolpanel.exe, holdemmanager.exe and hmhud.exe are started as administrator. Run the windows explorer and navigate to your Holdemmanager installation directory. Right click the executables and select "Run as admin" from the popup menu. Windows 7 you MUST set all the executables to always run as admin.

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


For reinstalling SQL to the same DB, follow these steps:

1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
2) If you are moving the DB to a different drive/partition, manually cut or copy the \Postgresql\8.x\data directory to it's new location.
3) run the command - start > run > cmd >

net user postgres /delete
4) reboot.
5) Install the same version of PostgreSQL as your current DB using these instructions - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=177
6) If you have moved/installed your DB to a non-default location, please make sure to change the 'Data Directory' path during the installation.


Then you can import your old hud configs or use your old \config\prefs.xml file if you had custom HUDs.

Hey Fozzy,

I never got around to thanking you, but your directions worked very well for me.

I recently purchased a new PC, and decided to refer back to this thread to use your directions again (I basically want to move my old DB with all the same HUD configurations over to my new PC).

But unfortunately the links you posted are not working anymore. They just take me back to the general FAQ page.

Would you be able to help me out with this again?

Thanks!
