Compacting problem

[bigirwin]

I just compacted my files and now it appears that a lot of the information is missing. There are stats either missing or incomplete for players I know I have histories with. Could you please tell me what I can do to fix this? I tried searching the forum but couldn't seem to find anything that helped. Thanks.

Compacting the database doesn't touch the data. Are you using Vista?

[bigirwin]

yes and i'm running as administrator

[ptrack pat]

Go to the c:\program files\poker tracker v2 folder. Is there a file called ptrack_backup.mdb there? If so, what is the date/time and size of it.

Now click on the Compatibility Files folder. Is there a file called ptrack.mdb? If so, what is the date/time size of it? Is there also a ptrack_backup.mdb file in this folder?

ptrack_backup.mdb is 7/21; 4:46; 115MB
ptrack.mdb is 7/21; 7:14; 10.6MB

There should be no ptrack.mdb file in the comp. files folder if you were always running PT as administrator.

Close PT. Go to the c:\program files\poker tracker v2 folder and rename that backup file to ptrack.mdb

Then right-click on the PT desktop icon and select 'run as administrator' from the popup menu. Do you see all the stats again?

I am still missing the majority of my stats.

Reimport your processed hand history files then to pickup any hands that are not in that file.

Is there any way around that? It's going to take forever. This happens every time I get the message to compact files. How do I avoid this in the future? It's pretty frustrating.

Can I get a response on this? I would like to know if there's a way around importing all my HHs now or at least a way so I don't have to do it again every time it tells me to compact files.
