Installation Error

[mart1985]

I have just purchased HM3 and am getting an error on start-up with version 3.1.10.0

It freezes and says 'Holdem Manager 3 database server encountered an error and has to shut down'. It won't process an error report and then just freezes and has to be shut down via Task Manager.

I would be grateful for any suggestions on how to rectify this.

I am unable to insall v3.1.10.0 and keep getting the following error:

'Holdem Manager 3 database server encountered an error and has to shut down'. It won't send the error report and just freezes.

Any ideas on how to solve this?
