Hem unable to initialize DB

[coca_cola_lova]

Hello,

I`m facing the following issue. Whenever i double click HeM to open it pops up a window like the screenshot attached and in case i press "quit" the program closes and in case i press "continue" it shows loading for ever and i have to close the program through task manager. Any idea what could the problem be?

I`m using windows vista business btw. I`ve exchanged some emails with a hem tech guy but nothing come close to the solution.

I could use all the help given.

(do not know if that has anything to do but PT3 runs smoothly on my pc)

Best

Hi,

please reinstall your Microsoft .NET Framework:

1) Uninstall your current version with this tool: http://rvgsoftware.fileburst.com/dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip
2) Download and install this one: http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/6/1/061F001C-8752-4600-A198-53214C69B51F/dotnetfx35setup.exe
3) Try to open HM again

[coca_cola_lova]

HI,

Nope. Unfortunately i get the same message. i`m posting the screenshot. Any other Ideas please?

Edit: From a google search using the phrase "0' is not a valid value for 'emSize'. 'emSize' should be greater than 0 and less than or equal to System.Single.MaxValue. Parameter name: emSize" i found out that there must be something wrong with the fonts(?). If that is of any help.

[RDB]

Can you post the details of the unhandled exception please.

[coca_cola_lova]

Hi,

What do you mean by details? Arent all the details on the screenshot?

[netsrak]

There is a details button in the error message. But i don't think it will help much.

Please uninstall HEM using Revo Uninstaller: http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/126/Using+Revo+Uninstaller+

After completion please reboot your computer and download and install the full installer from our homepage. Please make sure that the postgresql option is disabled during the installation.

Please make sure that your windows installation is uptodate - all service packs and windows updates installed.

[coca_cola_lova]

Hello Sir, Did everything you said, uninstall w/ revo and full install but still got the same message. Note that i updated everything windowswise.

Hope that helps!

[netsrak]

Something in your windows or Microsoft .net framework installation is corrupt.

The .net framework reinstallation pat posted first was executed without errors?

Are you using any 3rd party firewall, anti-spyware, adaware, tuning or registry cleaning programs? and if yes which ones?

[coca_cola_lova]

Hi, everything with the net. framework instalation went fine,

I`m running avira Antivir Personal antivirus aswel.

I`m attaching the screenshot of the running processes in my pc if that`s of any help to you.

[netsrak]

I'm out of ideas.

Please schedule a remote support session with our support. Email support@holdemmanager.net, with a link to this thread and your forum name, so we can setup a Teamviewer (http://www.holdemmanager.net/teamviewer) session.

[coca_cola_lova]

Will do. I believe that the teamviewer session will solve this $#%#$^.

Emailing support right now.

At first, I was able to solve it reinstalling the system, but after Windows updates, it appeared again. What should I do?

[netsrak]

No idea how and whether it was fixed for the other user.

Which firewall / virusscanner and other security software are you using?

[RDB]

This looks like a font error. Please download this file and extract the content to a new folder on your Desktop: http://rvgsoftware.fileburst.com/font.zip

Then, copy all the files from there to C:\Windows\Fonts and overwrite the existing ones.

[ZeroTheGreat]

I played with the settings in the "Region and Language". Decimal symbols, all stuff :rolleyes: Default settings - HM works.
