HM2 crash immediately upon startup

[jugadormejor]

I sent a few e-mails this morning regarding HM2 crashing immediately on start up.

The relevant ext of the e-mails below the log.txt file is attached in an e-mail I sent and I believe I attached it to this thread:

As soon as I start HM2 it immediately crashes and i have a popup that tells me windows is looking for a solution. I have tried restarting the computer, uninstalling and reinstalling HM2 after deleting the HM2 download from my computer and redownloading the software from your site.

Error in log says:
19:44:03.088 [Main:HMDataGrid.RestoreColumnSettings] Value cannot be null.
This is "cultural" error.

Please close HM, go to this folder
%appdata%\holdemmanager
and delete 2 files there
holdemmanager.config
holdemmanager.config.bak
(or move them from that folder)
Then run HM.
You will need to restore autoimport paths (or copy all Import section from old file if you did not deleted it)

I have the same issue, deleting those files didn't solve the problem. I have updated windows, I am running hm2 as administrator.

HM2: Please update to this version. It will update your database to correct any player names with characters that may cause HUD issues and some stats that were corrected. This may take a while with a large DB, so we recommend doing so when you can leave your computer on for a while, like overnight.

From the log it looks like your HUD module is causing the issue.

Does this file exist: c:\programfiles\holdemmanager2\nini.dll

If not, please download this and place it in the folder:

http://www.udbrky.com/HMModules/Nini.dll

If it still does not load, please place this file in the c:\programfiles\holdemmanager2\modules folder:

http://www.udbrky.com/HMModules/HoldemManager.Modules.UI.HUD.dll

Make sure to run HM2 as an administrator.

Please turn off User Account Control. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Turn-User-Account-Control-on-or-off

Add holdemmanager.exe, hudfuncapps.exe and postgres to the exceptions list in your firewall and antivirus.

Make sure that Windows is fully 100% up to date.

You need to make sure that this folder

7/Vista: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\HoldemManager\
Showing hidden files and sytem files and folders: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tuto...torial151.html
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\User_name\Application Data\HoldemManager
Showing hidden files and sytem files and folders: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d....mspx?mfr=true

is not read only and that all permissions are set to full for your user name. The folder will continue showing read only after that, this is an issue in Windows.
