Open Side Menu Go to the Top

So i recently updated to windows 7. After the update I was no longer able to connect to postgre. I get an error about not being able to start the service and connect to the server(postgre was not showing up in services btw).

So I googled and did the stuff I found. No Joy.

In the end I decided to uninstall and reinstall.

Uninstall had an error...said the program was not there? Weird cause I'm able to go to start>postgreSQL, click crap, and windows open and programs run.

I tried a reinstall anyway, and still no dice...got errors about file path not containing - (which the installer did, not me...I just click buttons lol) and of course yeah the service could not connect to the server again.

I'm pretty clueless when it comes to database stuff.....in case you couldn't tell....anyone? Please?

Any Idea on what I need to do to make this work?

Thanks....

Not sure which tracker you use, but the following steps should solve it for you if you use HM.

*If your windows user name has any unique 'cyrillic characters' you will need to create a new windows user and install postgresql under that user. Then you can delete the windows user once it is working.

Create a new windows user in the Control Panel > User Accounts. Make sure it is an Administrator account and name it 'temporary'.

Log in to the new 'temporary' windows user account, and install postgresql using our combo installer:

*Please update to the latest version - http://rvgsoftware.fileburst.com/HmBetaUpdate.exe

1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
2) Use our combo installer to reinstall PostgreSQL. Make sure you un-check Holdem Manager during installation. http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloa...ager_Setup.exe

Once PostgreSQL has been installed successfully you can switch back to your normal windows user account and delete the 'temporary' user from the Control Panel > User Accounts.


*If the steps above are not the solution:

This is usually a firewall or windows update issue.

Which Operating System, Firewall, and Anti-Virus are you using?


Many of those free Norton, Mcaffee, Comodo, Zonealarm, 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://rvgsoftware.fileburst.com/HmBetaUpdate.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://faq.holdemmanager.com/questio...ender+Problems
5) Install Microsoft Security Essentials for antivirus/malware protection and update it - http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

Make sure windows is fully updated until 'No New Important Updates are Found' (this may require multiple restarts), including Internet Explorer 9 (even if you use a different web browser) and change your Windows Control Panel > Regional Settings Format to English (USA).

The secondary logon service is a standard windows service which is available on every windows computer. In the latest versions it is not started automatically. You need to start it via control panel > administrative tools > services > secondary logon > right-click > start AND right-click > properties > startup type: automatic.


Add exceptions to the windows firewall, even if it is off. If you have a 3rd party firewall, do the equivalent or uninstall it temporarily - http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questio...ender+Problems


1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
2) Use our combo installer to reinstall PostgreSQL. Make sure you un-check Holdem Manager during installation. http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloa...ager_Setup.exe

If that installer fails to install PostgreSQL, please reinstall PostgreSQL using the following instructions:

1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
2) run the command - start > programs > accessories > command prompt > right-click > run as administrator

net user postgres /delete

4) reboot.
5) Install PostgreSQL 8.3.9 from this link - http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloa...3.9-v1.0.7.exe

Install it to a new path such as C:\PostgreSQL\8.3 instead of the default installation path.
