I just converted to Holdem Manger from PokerTracker3. I had to turn off “User Account Control” to import files. I am getting a warning from Windows Security & other software is not working properly. Does the User Account Control always have to be turned off to import files into Holdem Manger?

If you turn UAC on in Vista you must run HM (and I suggest any poker apps) as administrator. In W7 you can't turn UAC off so HM must always run as admin.

For W7 and Vista 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 compatibility tab. If you have Vista and the checkboxes are greyed out and you can't select it, please turn UAC on, reboot, and then set the files to run as administrator.
