When I try to run HM this message appears " ... Failed to establish a connection to 127.0.0.1."
I uninstalled the PostgreSQL and the HM then installed them again but it does not work. I know that it is a "famous" problem but neither turning off my firewalls neither entering 127.0.0.1 in text files helped me so I do not know what to do.

This message simply means that HM can't connect to the postgresql service.

You should check whether this service is running. Please see our FAQ: http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/91/Can%27t+Connect+%7B47%7D+Failed+to+Start+PostgreSQ L+

Usually when you get this error the first time the following steps help:

Solutions:
1. Reboot your computer
2. If that doesn't help look for the hidden system file postmaster.pid in the postgresql data folder, delete it and reboot your computer again.
3. Check the postgresql service in the windows services (control panel->administration). Sometimes it helps to change the Logon As.. to "local system account"
4. Check our FAQ:
