Repeated crashes and inability to run HEM

[weatherman]

every time I start up my computer it seems it's only a matter of time before I receive the error

"the following error occurred when trying to open the database: Connection establishment timeout. Increase Timeout value in ConnectionString"

I've tried updating to the latest version (1.06.04 beta 18) but that didn't fix the problem - I've already received the error twice after installing the new update which I saw recommended in another thread for the same problem.

I'm running Vista, UAC is disabled, and everything that needs to be is running as administrator

just happened again, this time it was when I tried to refresh the stats from my session

If you didnt keep your code email: support@holdemmanager.net

The betas solved that timeout problem so you shouldnt experience it anymore once you update to beta 21

the version you linked in this thread has not solved the problem at all, I'm still getting multiple crashes per day.

I'm just really disappointed here. The entire reason that I bought HEM while I already owned PT3 was because all I heard about was how stable it is and how I would never have to deal with those annoying PokerTracker freezes anymore in hte middle of playing.

I can say without question HEM has frozen more times just in the last two weeks than PT ever has for me. I really like the software but I don't know how much more of this I can take, it is literally guaranteed for me now that every time I run the software it will inevitably crash and I'll need to reboot
