Error reading the config//holdemmanager

[SI-KICK]

So i started up HEM today v1.09 and i get this:

An error occurred while reading the config//Holdemmanager.config file 'o'
hexadecimal value 0x02 is an invalid charachter line 1 position 1

Holdem manager will now backup the old file and create a new one


when i press ok i get:

Unhandled exception has occurred

if you click continue ................if you click quit the app will close immediately.

Cannot create a file when that file already exists.


any ideas?

Windows hides 'known file extensions' by default. http://www.granneman.com/techinfo/wi...howextensions/

0. Make sure you have installed the latest Beta version.
1. Note your database connection settings from the database management
2. Close holdemmanager
3. Go to the folder config in the holdemmanager installation path
4. Rename the file holdemmanager.config to holdemmanager.config.corrupt or sth. like that.
5. Under Vista make sure that UAC is switched off or check the administrator settings for holdemmanager.exe, hmhud.exe and dbcontrolpanel.exe under properties->compatibility
6. Restart Holdemmanager
7. Holdemmanager reinstalls and displays some messages and warnings
7a. A new holdemmanager.config file is generated
8. Reconfigure your database connection
9. After successful start reconfigure your Auto-import settings

Open your current .config file and it should be right at the top of the file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<setting name="ConnectionString">SERVER=127.0.0.1;PORT=5432;UID=postgres;PWD=postgrespass</setting>
