i was using postgreSQL v 8.2 before, but for some reason it stop working because some kind of JIT debugger...

so i installed postgresql v 8.3 and HEM started working just fine again..

however.. all the hard work i spent making a database of players is gone...

is there a way to get this database back? it should still be on my computer right? i did not delete any files.

Its probably located on another folder i.e C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\Data instead of C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\Data

So locate where it is and then turn off the service by finding PostgreSQL in the Start Menu and using the Stop Service option. Then delete the \Data folder in the new installation of postgres and copy your backed up \Data folder over. if you can't delete then you may need to reboot first.

Then in the PostgreSQL menu click on Start Service and if everything went right you should be able to connect to your old database.
