How do I move my HUD setup and my database from 1 computer to another, as in what files do I need to copy?

Thanks

This worked for the HUD.

Issue with database is a bit more difficult.

I had to do an "In Place" installation of windows, so all my data from my old windows is in a folder, windewsOLD. I could get the HUD config from there, but I cannot open and export hands.

Is there another way to get the hands to the new installation of HEM?

Did you archive your hands, you could import them into a new database, usually there in C:/hmarchive

Imported hmarchive

It imported a bit more than 1 million hands, but none of which I played in myself.

Thoughts?

Is there a way to add another database to HEM? I still got my old postgresSQL data too.

?

Like this:
FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Create / Delete Database (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/75/Create+%7B47%7D+Delete+Database)

But why do you want to do this if you have a new DB already ?

HEM moves hands for performance reasons when auto importing. The hands you import manually do not get moved. The archive should have had some of your own hands. If you play a site like stars/ftp you can email their support and ask for all your old hand histories and tourney summaries.

If you have your old \data folder you can try to reinstall postgresql using that data folder. It isn't 100% effective but if it works it means you should only have to import recent hands instead of all hands.

For reinstalling SQL to the same DB, follow these steps:

1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
2) If you are moving the DB to a different drive/partition, manually cut or copy the \Postgresql\8.x\data directory to it's new location. In this instance you want to delete your currently installed postgresql \data folder that is left after uninstalling and replace it with your old \data folder.
3) run the command - start > programs > accessories > command prompt > right-click > run as administrator

net user postgres /delete
4) reboot.
5) Install the same version of PostgreSQL as your DB using these instructions - FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Reinstall PostgreSQL Preserving Old Database (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/71/Reinstall+PostgreSQL+Preserving+Old+Database)
6) If you have moved/installed your DB to a non-default location, please make sure to change the 'Data Directory' path during the installation.
