Does everyone else have huge PT files or is there a way to reduce the size of them? My file is like 500Meg plus it saves a backup file that is just as big. I did the compact stuff that can be done on the website but does anything do anything further such as deleating old hands that are a year old and such?

Basically I've found that PT seems to bog down my PC. I know that I'm low in RAM and I expect a Gig in this week but I still think that there should be something that I could do.

ML was telling me I need to convert my database or something.. I have to compact after every session.. It's really gettin gold..

He gave me [url=http://www.pokertracker.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6310:unpx5nlk]this[/url:unpx5nlk] link.. Not sure if it's the same problem or not, but it might help if you haven't already done this.

Mine are huge too, but even on a crappy laptop it didn't bog down the system except for when I had the "Auto rate players when importing" turned on. Then it was ass. Make sure it's not auto-rating.

I too have to convert my database, but not because it's terribly big. But it might have been causing some of the slow downs I was experiencing. Still haven't done it yet as upgrading to 2 gigs of RAM stopped the horrible slow downs I was having. I posted about it on TP...I could barely listen to a cd and play poker (w/PT, PAHUD, etc) at the same time.

Although the upgrade in RAM has my machine humming along great, I'm still gonna convert my DB one of these days.

Converting is probably the single best thing you can do. Access hates large databases, it just isn't created to handle them. It's good for small applications but when it gets too big it suffers horribly.

I just noticed I don't have winzip or anything.. What do you guys use??

I use WinRar, it's basically the same as winzip but also handles "rar" files. Both have "free" versions that will just nag you every time you open up the program. I don't find it too irritating.

Anybody know what to do about this error when installing the PostgreSQL? I can't find mention of it in the documentation.

Odd, I didn't get that. Maybe restart the comp? Windows likes a good restart :).

Go into Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services. Start the Secondary Logon service. Also set the start properties for this service to "Automatic". I don't know why postgres needs this service but that's how you enable it.
