It sounds like PT can no longer find your hand history database. Did you install the full version instead of the patch? Make sure you installed PT in the same folder as before.

Are you using Vista on this PC?
Are you sure you have been running PT as administrator every time you start it?

This is not the same thing. Use the Reset Replayer Window Position option under the Window menu in PT.

The stats are stored in a different file than the hand history text.

If it's not showing the old hands then something has happened to the old hand history database.

Installing the patch would not have caused this because it doesn't touch the database files at all, only the program files.

Search your hard drive for the existence of a file called hhdb.mdb - do you find more than one such file on your computer? If so, what folders where the files found in?

Also, in the c:\program files\poker tracker v2 folder, is there a file called hhcopy.mdb there? If so, what is the date/time and size of this file?
