This is usually a firewall or windows update issue.

Which Operating System, Firewall, and Anti-Virus are you using?

Did you happen to get any windows updates since you used it last? Did you try the steps in the FAQ I linked to? They should help to solve it. If not then you will need to try reinstalling postgresql as suggested at the end of the FAQ.

Its all good today.

I havent done anything tho, but the HEM is just fine, and I didnt get the error today.

Strange..

That is odd. Which firewall and AV programs are you using? If it returns you might want to consider trying the following:

Many of those free Norton, Mcaffee, Comodo, Zonealarm, Avira, Avast, AVG, Bitdefender, etc, 'internet security' bundles will not work well with Holdem Manager.

Please do the following steps, so we can get your computer to a state that we know will work with Holdem Manager:

1) Uninstall any 3rd party security software bundles.
2) Reboot your computer
3) Please update to the latest version - http://www.holdemmanager.com/Downloads/HmUpdate_Release_1.13.02_05Aug2013.exe
4) Enable Windows Firewall's recommended settings through your Control Panel, turn off Windows Defender, and add firewall exceptions for HM and SQL - http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/275/Windows+Firewall+%7B47%7D+Defender+Problems
5) Install Microsoft Security Essentials for antivirus/malware protection and update it - Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows (http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/)

If you feel the need to pay for security I would suggest ESET NOD or Kaspersky.
