Ok so i did all of the preliminary solutions, didnt work.

so i started doing this procedure FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Reinstall PostgreSQL Preserving Old Database (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/71/Reinstall+PostgreSQL+Preserving+Old+Database)

(reinstalling while preserving old database).

i had version 8.4 before so i went here to dl version 8.4 Download PostgreSQL | EnterpriseDB (http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgdownload#windows). not sure if its the correct one.

so it finds my existing directory and uses it, but it asks for my existing directory's password. i can't remember what it was.


then i decide to just install 8.3 and i'll re-import all of my old hand histories, but i did it and my HM still doesn't work. i get the same error.


i think i might need some support thru team viewer.

click on Start and go to Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt

* If you are on Vista, rightclick and choose "Run as Administrator".


A black box should appear. Type 'net user postgres /del' (without the quotes) and press enter.

The user is now deleted and you can (re)install PostgreSQL.


That should enable you to enter any password again. Use: postgrespass

disable UAC, uninstall antivirus/firewall, reboot
uninstall Postgre and kill user, reboot again
then open file ...holdemmanager\config\holdemmanager.config as text
in its beginning find a line with password, remember it
go to ProgramFiles and move entire folder "PostgreSQL" somewhere outside ProgramFiles
then install the same version of Postgre as it was (8.4) - in this moved folder (not in default path)
when it asks for passw - enter that pw from file

ok i go to open holdemmanager\config in a text document but when i get that far the holdemmanager.config file isnt there.

If the file isn't there reinstall HoldemManager using the 93 mb full installer @ http://www.holdemmanager.com/Downloads/Holdem_Manager_Setup.exe

Also try to install a different version of SQL to a different port.
For example 9.0.x to port 5433 or 8.2 to port 5434 and connect to that instead.

hi takeem21,


I have the same problem. After installing a few backup programs, all of a sudden i can't start postgres any more.

You said:

Can you specify what made it work? What Sarek says, or what part of what Patvs says:
