Hey,
any help much appreciated with this...
HM stopped working before i installed the new update. i have now done this and it is still not working. when i try to open it, it comes up with the message:
'the following error occurred when trying to open the database: failed to establish a connection to 127.0.0.1.
i then press 'ok'
and it comes up with a database control panel with server name, port name and postgres login and password. i click 'connect' and it reads
'a connection to postgresql could not be made.'
i followed this link which support provided
FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Can't Connect / Failed to Start PostgreSQL (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/91/Can%27t+Connect+%7B47%7D+Failed+to+Start+PostgreSQ L+)
i have uninstalled the security software i had (avast) and also turned off my windows defender and firewall. when it came to the exceptions i added the port number and hm to the list, like instructed i could not however see the other 3 options (hud.exe etc) available in the programs to put them on the exceptions list.
i did not recieve any windows updates in the time that hm was working fine and then stopped.
i am unsure about doing the other things that have been listed in that link because i really dont want to lose my database of player stats. i am sure something like this will happen again and i dont want to just keep starting a new database each time.
thank you for your help with this
