Hi

I installed on a laptop just was not up to the load - I cannot play with it On and decided to move to another PC.

Is there a step-by-step guide to uninstall completely so my laptop is back in its original state?

Thanks
Jo

1) Uninstall PostgreSQL and Holdem Manager from the Windows Control Panel.
2) manually delete or rename the Program Files\Postgresql folders
3) run the command - start > programs > accessories > command prompt > right-click > run as administrator

net user postgres /delete

What is the purpose of step 3 ?

Step 3 has two functions:
-1 by deleting the postgres user, it will delete the password linked to the postgres user, so you won't get any "password not accepted" errors when you either reinstall HoldemManager, or for example try to install PokerTracker3 which uses a different default password

-2 On some computers, the postgres user will actually create a second user at the startup screen, allowing the user to login to postgres. (which can be annoying if you want your computer to boot straight into your main user account) Deleting postgres will fix this.

Yes, the text in the php code box is what you need to type in the CMD window to remove the postgres user when reinstalling postgresql.

FYI if you are installing PSQL with PT4's installer:

PT3's default name/password is - postgres/dbpass
HM's default name/password is - postgres/postgrespass


If that doesnt help:


1. Go to C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.x\data, move the the pg_hba file to your Desktop and open it with notepad.
2. Scroll to the bottom and change all md5 to trust. Save and close the file
3. Move the file back to the data folder
4. Restart the PostgreSQL service: Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services


HM will accept any password now.
