Hi

I have just got a new PC and and I am trying to get my HEM database onto the new computer. From the old PC I have copied the folder c:\program files\PostgreSQL\8.3\data (including entire contents) to an external hard drive.

I have now tried copying this file to the same location but haven't been able to then open the database. The new computer is Windows 7 with the old on Vista and my old PC may have had an older holdem manager although I did update using the beta patches regualary, could this cause a problem? The new compuet is also using the location of 'Program Files (x86)' I don't know what this is but its what happened automatically for all downloaded programs

Please help
Regards
Sam

Did you reinstall SQL 8.3 to the location of the old c:\program files\PostgreSQL\8.3\data?

It then should detect the old database.
Did you also backup your archive folder, so you can reimport your hands?
