Copy the /data folder (from the 8.4-prev-2011-17-May-10-31-43 backup folder)
to the new nearly empty 8.4/data/ folder.
And reinstall PostgreSQL. Use the installer (8.4.8) from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database (http://www.postgresql.org)
It should detect the old database during the installation.

I have done that and now when I open HM appear a pop up saying "failed to establish a connection to..."
What should I do?

This is usually a firewall or windows update issue.
First try to reboot.
If no help, try this:
Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Stop Service
Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Start Service
If that doesnt help delete the \postgresql\8.x\data\postmaster.pid file, if you see it. And reboot.
If that doesn't help you will have to reinstall PostgreSQL completely

Best solution would be, to create a new database, and reimport your original handhistories.
Restoring a database, by copying back the /data folder (and reinstall PostgreSQL) will often result in these types of errors, caused by a corruption in one of the indexes.

I tried that first options and didn't work. Now I had created a new database, and I want to reimport my original handhistories. How can I do that?

All original HHs are in c:/hmarchive
Simply use Import from folder button.
