PokerTracker

[code][/code]

I'm sure many of you have seen this error before. Essentially, I had to reimage my hard drive. I reinstalled all programs including Poker Tracker 3 and the PostgreSQL system. When I loaded PT3, I got the error message:

"Poker Tracker was unable tyo connect to any PostgreSQL databases. Please make sure you have PostgreSQL running."

So I stopped and started the system, with no apparent effect. I clicked the settings button in the main PT3 screen to look for my screen name, and was unable to find it. I reconfigured my Poker software to work with PT3, reloaded the program, and repeated all the above steps all with no apparent effect. I remember this happening before, and it turned out to be a relatively easy fix--I just don't remeber the solution. I am running Windows XP v 2002 with service pack 2. Any help would be appreciated.

Did the postgres install complete successfully?
Did you install it manually or using the PT3 full install version?

Is the postgtes service running? Task Manager > Processes: do you see any postgres processes?
If not, try Start > Programs > Postgres > Start Service. Anything now?

If not, you can re-install postgres by following this guide: How to reinstall Postgres

Thank you for getting back to me. The only process I can see that might be related is something called sqlservr.exe that appears to be something else. I don,t see anything that I can definitely say is related to PostgreSQL. Also, the process seems to remain wheter or not I start or stop the service. I will try the reinstall and see what happens. Thanks again for the help.

I ended up reinstalling the PostgreSQL database, and am currently repopulating hands into a new database. The procedure appears to be working.

To anyone else reading this post, Whiterider definitely knows the inner workings of PT and PostgreSQL. Thanks again for the support.
