Question about re-installing HM2

[Arizona Willie]

Since I have multiple issues I am thinking of deleting HM2 and re-installing.

If I delete HM2 using the Revo uninstaller ... will my database be removed ( lost ) also?

Will I lose all my customized HUD'S?

Is there a way to preserve my customized HUDS and archived database of hands?

Uninstalling HM2 with Revo will not delete the database(s).
It may not even delete them if you uninstall PostgreSQL with Revo. Nor will it delete the content of the archive folder.
(it won't if you use the regular uninstall for PostgreSQL)

You will lose your customized HUDs, so you have to EXPORT those first.
hud options--> displayed stats--> export your custom HUDs and customized HUDs.

There always is a slight risk, when you reinstall HM2 (or reinstall PostgreSQL) it won't connect to the old database (although in pgadminIII you can clearly see the old database is still there).... so you really also need a proper backup of all the original handhistory files.
