Our HM1 and HM2 installers contain version 8.4.x as part of the installation process. You only need to download a separate postgresql installer if you want your database to be on a partition other than your C:\ drive. You can download them from postgresql.org and we only recommend 8.4.x or 9.0.x.

Yes, you can export the hands from HM1 and import those to HM2. All of your original hands should also be stored in the C:\HMArchive folder so you may not need to export the hands from the database unless it contains hands that were manually imported and not archived.

Many of those free Norton, Mcaffee, Comodo, Zonealarm, Avira, Avast, AVG, Bitdefender, etc, 'internet security' bundles will not work well with Holdem Manager.

Please do the following steps, so we can get your computer to a state that we know will work with Holdem Manager:

1) Uninstall any 3rd party security software bundles.
2) Reboot your computer
3) Please install the latest version: http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloa...ger_2_Beta.exe
4) Enable Windows Firewall's recommended settings through your Control Panel, turn off Windows Defender, and add firewall exceptions for HM and SQL - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...ender+Problems
5) Install Microsoft Security Essentials for antivirus/malware protection and update it - Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows


Make sure everything is set to run as admin - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...7%7D7+%26+8%29


1) Click start - accessories
2) Right click command prompt
3) Choose Run as Administrator

Type:

sfc /scannow

Hit enter

4) Please schedule a disk check:

chkdsk /f /r C:

5) Hit enter

6) Restart your computer.

Afterwards, it will either show there are no integrity problems, or give a location for a file with errors. If this happens, please send us that file.

hi
i follow all the steps but still cant start the postgresql, the only wrong was some files that the system cant repair and appears in c:\windows\logs and nothing else, but its strange because yesterday i was playing some hours in ps with the hm2 and hud without any problem, it better to reinstall the postgresql 8.4 again with the hm2?

edit:
i reinstall completely the postgresql 8.4 and the hm2 and start the service, but i had i problem with the ps client, it doesnt work and need to reinstall again and create a new shortcut, strange! but now its working, i suppose it was something that change during these steps

tks

So, everything is finally working now? Which Firewall, and Anti-Virus are you using? With so many problems I wonder if they weren't maybe caused by your security software.
