Hey I just downloaded HM and want to give the trial version a go before I decide to permently swap over from PT3. I downloaded HM and followed the getting started steps. However when I try to autoimport it isn't importing the hands.. Instead the hands come up as import errors

Is the fact that I have PT3 set up screwing something up?

Other than that I checked "save my hand history" in the stars client and have them saving to C:\ProgramFiles\Pokerstars\HandHistory
-I have also confirmed the handhistories are saving to "C:\Program Files\PokerStars\HandHistory\RiverRock55" as suggested in the stars config help page.
-Also under "Confiigure Auto Import" in HM under "Current Import Folders" I have both
"C:\Program Files\PokerStars\HandHistory + subfolders (+ Archive Filers)"
"C:\Program Files\PokerStars\HandHistory\RiverRock55 + subfolders (+ Archive Filers)"
-do I need both of these folders? if not which one should I remove?

Other than that the only other thing is that I'm running Vista. When I installed HM I followed the instructions to run HM as an administrator. However when I try to select the "run as administrator box" it is greyed out and I can't select it. The HM setup said if it is greyed out not to worry about it, so I didn't but now think this may be part of the import problem. If it is how do I correct it?

One other newb question: When I installed HM it didn't come w/ a desktop icon to select.. ie/ I gotta go into the start menu and select "shortcut to HM.exe" is this standard or did something screw up in install?

Thanks
RiverRock55.

Stars recently changed the handhistory format, you just need the latest version: http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/HmUpdate1.06.03f.exe

You can create a desktop shortcut by rightclicking on the icon in your list and send -> desktop

worked like a charm..
Thanks

One quick suggestion.. I only downloaded HM this morning and still needed to download the patch/update you suggested. You may want to update your download page w/ this newer version..
