Hud recovery after pc change

[ngppat]

hi, first of all sorry for my basic english. i changed pc and installed the latest version of hm2 the 8695, i still have the possibility to access the old hard disk, so i wanted to know if it was possible to recover the hud configuration i had and if so how.
thanks for your help

It would have been easier if you had exported the HUDs from the old HM2 installation but you can still recover them manually.

C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Roaming\HoldemManager\ Config\prefs.xml is the file you need to copy from the old installation to the new install. If you can't see it, turn off the windows option that is hiding that directory - http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questio...es+in+Windows+

You may also want to copy/paste the original hand history files as well, if you might ever want to import them to your database on the computer. All original hands that are auto-imported get moved to an archive for performance reasons. Your \HM2Archive is in C:\HM2Archive by default, but you may have put it anywhere. The archive should be organized by \Month\DayOfMonth (example: D:\HM2Archive\2009\07\31) or if it was auto-imported with 7283+ it would be in \HM2Archive\SiteName\YYYY\MM\DD.* It is configured in the Site Setup - Auto Import Folders menu.

I found the prefs.xml file but when I go to import it I get a pop up with the writing "no config found".
as for the old hand histories I managed to import it but now the hands of snai.it give them to me wrong while before they marked them right.
what can I do?
thanks for your help

You can't import a prefs.xml because it is not a single exported HUD profile, it is all of your HUD profiles and settings all in one file. Simply copy/paste it from the old drive to the same location on your new drive/computer with HM2 closed, then start HM2, and you should have all of your old HUD profiles on the new machine.

I have no idea what that means.

Please update to the latest beta version - http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloa...ger_2_Beta.exe

- After downloading, you should right-click the file, go to properties and click unblock.*
* If you do not see an 'unblock' option you can ignore this step.
- Then, right click the file and run as administrator.

Try creating a new DataBase and import a small portion of your \HM2Archive so you can see if the problem exists in the new DB - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...y+played+hands

If none of that helps:

Please zip and email the problem hand histories and tournament summaries, with a link to this thread and your forum name, to us using the 'Contact Support' link.

Make sure you also include screenshots of your reports/filters and a detailed description by tournament number, session, hole cards, filter, stat, etc. of some of the errors we need to test.

I did as you said, i.e. copying / pasting the prefs.hml file in the config folder of the new pc with hm2 closed and then start hm2 but despite this I still don't see the old hud configurations.

You must not have copied the right file, or you copied it from/to the wrong folder.

Please create a support ticket with a link to this thread and your forum username.

Please zip/attach that prefs.xml file you found and take screenshots of where you found/copied it from and where you pasted it to.
