cannot get past postgresql installation. originally was getting an error, installed it, turned out I already had it installed, uninstalled the prev one, installed again.

the error I am getting now appears at "Initialize database cluster". The message says:

The specified data diractory is not empty.
....

Meanwhile, I already uninstalled the last version, so cannot get to install HEM :(

Thx a lot for help, hopefully, I can figure it out before my trial ends, b/c PT3 freezes on me non-stop lol

You already have Postgresql installed for PT3. You should be able to connect with HM to that PostgreSQL installation and create a Holdem Manager DB.

Just start HM and try to connect using the info below:

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.

it's not in the list of programs, so I cannot restart the service

Then you have uninstalled it from the control panel but not deleted the \postgresql\8.x\data folder and probably haven't removed the postgres user.

Please try using these instructions to reinstall postgresql clean using our new 1-click installer - http://forums.holdemmanager.com/showthread.php?t=20755
