[Sour lemons uncle?]

I have just tried to open my HM and a messgae comes up saying "the following error occured when trying to open the database:failed to establish a connection to 127.0.0.1"

Please help

click on Start and go to Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt

* If you are on Vista, rightclick and choose "Run as Administrator".


A black box should appear. Type 'net user postgres /del' (without the quotes) and press enter.

The user is now deleted and you can (re)install PostgreSQL.

please try this PostgreSQL version: http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/pginstaller.exe



Please update to the latest beta - http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/HmBetaUpdate.exe

For W7 and Vista you must set \holdem manager\dbcontrolpanel.exe, holdemmanager.exe and hmhud.exe are started as administrator. Run the windows explorer and navigate to your Holdemmanager installation directory. Right click the executables and select properties... then select "Run as admin" from the compatibility tab. If you have Vista and the checkboxes are greyed out and you can't select it, please turn UAC on, reboot, and then set the files to run as administrator.

1)Will alll my data still be there after the re install?

2)I just opened holdem manager now and that now says "Holdem manager has stoped working. Windows is looking for a solution"
So do I re install holdem manager as well?

Thanks for the help.
