Hey, im using hem for years and everything was working fine.
When i wanted to start it today theres a error message:

Failed to establish a connection to ‘127.0.0.1’

hem didnt crash and i didnt do any updates or other changes with my pc.

This happens once every few months for me and it always ruin my day. And today it was time again. The fix didnt help..

And I dont want to uninstall my antivirus/internet security programs! I play poker for a living, I dont want my accounts getting hacked so I have no money for rent etc.

And I dont want to lose my entire database again!

Is there any way to fix this so I can start playing again? I depend alot on my HEM database.

Fast help is extremely appriciated!

I did the fix once before, so it already says the "127.0.0.1 localhost" thing. But now it happened again..

If you need a virus and firewall, I recommend you use windows firewall with Avg Free
AVG Free | Antivirus Download | Free Virus Protection (http://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage)

If you would like an antivirus that you pay for

Eset NOD ESET - Antivirus Software with Spyware and Malware Protection (http://www.eset.com/)
Kapersky Home & Small Office Security | Kaspersky Lab United States (http://usa.kaspersky.com/products-services/home-computer-security)

they are both great options that will work with holdemmanager.

ok, thanks for the reply, I guess that just sucks because I payed for Norton 360 like last month for a 2 year subscription :p

I reinstalled postgres and now HEM works again, lost a bunch of hands though not all of them..

Anyways, thanks for your help. I will probably get AVG free soon.
