When I try to start HM I get this error:

"The following error occurred when trying to open the database: Failed to establish a connection to '127.0.0.1'.

Then the HM tries to start up but then I get this error:

"Holdem Manager has determined that you are running Microsoft Vista. In order to have Holdem Manager run well you should disable User Access Control in your Control Panel - User section. This is needed to properly install Postgre

UAC was already disabled but when I click ´OK´ I go to the Database Control Panel. I try to connect but I get this message:

"A connection to PostgreSQL could not be made. Would you like to have Holdem Manager attempt to start the service?"

I click Yes and then I get:

"Holdem Manager has started the service. Please try again."

So that´s the problem. I already reinstalled PostgreSQL but it doesn´t help. How do I solve this problem?

I get an error when I try to allow PostgreSQL through Windows Firewall.

'Can't add port 'TCP 5432 (PostgreSQL)'. There is already a mention for the same port 'TCP 5432 (postgres)'.

Can I maybe get helped through teamviewer? Or is it maybe better to wait to monday when I get my new computer? Also quick question: where can I find a faq for transferring my database to my new computer?

I followed all the steps, tried everything, and I still get the same error.

Could I get a teamviewer session or again, is it better to wait till monday for my new computer to arrive?
