Hey guys,
I was doing a one step compact when my computer really jammed up and froze (not to sure if this was due to PT but my comps been acting up lately) so i restarted it. Now my PT is in alot of trouble having a whole bunch of errors come up all its data erased. One of the pop ups told to to make a post here and put my log up here. Please help us out.

Thanks

Just tell me what the general text of the error message is. Are you getting errors opening the program now or getting any kind of prompts to select a file or enter a password?

With PT closed, go to the c:\program files\poker tracker v2 folder.

Rename the file called ptrack.mdb to ptrack_bad.mdb

then rename the file called ptrack_backup.mdb to ptrack.mdb - this backup file would have been the backup file made before the compact was started so it should allow you to open PT again.
