[clarkatroid1]

my pt2 caught a virus, back door trojan, was spotted by avg scanner, so i panicked and uninstalled it, and re installed it.

obviously i lost my entire database, is there any way to re install it, i had 250k hands.
thanks in advance

Reinstall the program.

If it's unregistered then you'll have to send me the new product ID from the Help/About Poker Tracker window using the support system...

i have re installed pt2, but ob my old database have been erased, can i retrieve it at all?

[ptrack pat]

Did you uninstall the program before you reinstalled it? If you didn't uninstall it the database files should not have been touched at all.

yeah i uninstalled pt, not the database files, for a techno retard, how do i load them up again pls

[ptrack pat]

If you uninstalled PT then you also uninstalled the database file. There was no reason to do this.

Go to the c:\program files\poker tracker v2 folder. Are there files there called ptrack_backup.mdb and hhcopy.mdb ?

[clarkatroid1]

yeah ptbackup and hhdb it says, im on vista, theres an image of a key over the files which i presume mean they are locked, it says they are read only files
thanks adam

I'm asking about a file called hhcopy.mdb , not the hhdb.mdb file. Is there an hhcopy.mdb file there?
