Hi all -
I had the same problem as many with the latest windows defender update. I solved the problem by amending the 'host' file (127.0.0.1 etc..)
HM worked initially on the first reboot.
However, I now have this problem which must be connected, please dont jump to any conclusions about a potential fix, as I have tried all suggested avenues so far (those found on this forum, those on other forums eg 2+2).
The error message on starting HM reads "Error: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."
What appears to be happening is that postgreSQL service starts, but is terminated/prevented from lasting: when I go to administrative tools -> services and start the service there, it begins successfuly but within 2-3 minutes fails. I then get the error message: "The PostgreSQL Database server 8.3 service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programmes."
Significantly if I try to start holdem manager immediately after initiating postgreSQL service, holdem manager successfully starts. But only to fail after 2-3 minutes when the postgreSQL service is interrupted as described above.
It has been suggested to me several times that this is an issue regarding anti-virus software/spyware etc. HM has worked fine on my system for several months and there has been little change to the anti-virus configuration during this period. It is the windows defender update that seems to have initiated the problems.
I am using windows vista, and have reinstalled postgreSQL which has no effect, same issue. Not sure what else to say... UAC has been disabled throughout...
please help!!!!!
