Hi, is there a guide somewhere on the steps to take to install postgres( i dont care which version as long as it works) and HM, ive tried a bunch of different postgres versions, and followed as many steps as i could from a bunch of other forum posts, and am still getting a range of different errors.

help would be much appreciated.

Normally when using the latest Postgresql 8.4 its just a straight click through.

Here are our standard installation guides http://www.holdemmanager.net/setup.html

If you give us a detailled problem description we can try to help you through

postgres is not installing for me on Win7. After the dialog where you enter the password, the error dialog I get is:

The "Secondary Logon" service is not running. This service is required for the installer to initialize the database. Please start this service and try again.

these are two of the many error messages ive been getting. i got the first one of these after a fresh install of postgres and hm, then clicked ok and tried to create a db and got the second message.

The secondary logon service is a standard windows service which is available on every windows computer. In the latest versions it is not started automatically. You need to start it via control panel > administrative tools > services. Right-Click > Properties > Startup > Automatic should insure it works in the future also.

This is almost always a firewall or windows update issue.

First try to delete the \postgresql\8.x\data\postmaster.pid file, if you see it, and 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, do the equivalent or uninstall it temporarily - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=171

Please try following all of these FAQs, step by step:

1) http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=34
2) reinstall the same version of postgresql, using the same \data folder - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=177
3) http://www.holdemmanager.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8261

If that doesn't help you will probably have to reinstall PostgreSQL completely and reimport your hands.

I have version 1.08.04
I'm using Windows 7 and I'm playing on Full Tilt Poker.
The Holdem Manager itself works without problems.
But the hud is making problems, it starts and works. but only for maximum 8 hands. Then it just stops working, the data is still there, but it doesn't actualize. The only way to relaunch the hud is to close both the full tilt software and the holdem manager.

Where is the problem?

The problem is the version. For FTP you need the latest Beta (link in my signature).
