Hello,

Today I booted up my computer and HM only to recieve the message that gave us so many problems in ~February. Being that I had recieved this problem before I did what I previously did and went to fill in the line in the host file.

Unfortunately this file was already correct so I did the next thing and came onto the forums for an answer, to which there was none.

So I continued by reinstalling PostgreSQL. No avail. Reinstalled HM with the most updated version, this did not work as well. I went to my System and tried to manually start PostgreSQL. I recieved this "new" error when I tried to start up PostgreSQL manually.
"Error 1053:The Service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely manner"

Oddly enough when i go to my system logs I have no log of an error.

At this point I'm completely confused. I am running Windows Vista 64 bit. I have not updated the system since the last time it ran properly. I use McAfee anitivirus. I have tried to start with or without the firewall on, doesn't effect anything.

Please help, I'd like to play some poker.

What do you mean you have not updated the system??

FULLY update Vista with EVERY update
Manually reinstall SQL to a different port number, try SQL 9.0




To "save" / reconnect to your old database try


Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Stop Service

Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Start Service

If that doesnt help delete the \postgresql\8.x\data\postmaster.pid file, if you see it. And reboot.

Add exceptions to the windows firewall, even if it is off. If you have a 3rd party firewall, do the equivalent or uninstall it temporarily - FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software (http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=171)



If that doesn't help you will have to reinstall PostgreSQL completely
