Reinstalled XP, installed PT3, how to connect to DB with PT2

[rmonroe]

I recently had to reinstall XP, so after doing so I installed the new Poker Tracker 3 that I purchased. I now would like to get Pokertracker 2 working also, but I do not know how to connect to the Postgre 8.3 database. When I go into PostGre settings there is no ODBC entry for the PostGre 8.3 database. How do I create one?

I would suggest uninstalling PT3 and PostgeSQL using the Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs window.

Then delete the remnants of the c:\program files\postgesql\8.3 folder.

Download this version of PostgreSQL:
http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/downloa ... .3.1-1.zip

Extract all the files out of the ZIP file into a separate folder.
Then double-click on the postgresql-8.3.msi file to install it.

The last part of the install is the Stack Builder application you can run. See here for what to select...

Then on the PostgreSQL Settings window in PT2, you would select "PostgreSQL Unicode" from the list.

Later, you can reinstall PT3 but when you do, you just need to do the install that doesn't include PostgreSQL because it's already installed.
