Thanks a lot for this! After a few restarts and uninstalling of various stuff, all seems to be working now although I'm getting an 'outdated database' error but I think it's correcting that itself.

Thanks again

Went through this nice guide. But I got still the 127.0.0.1 error. I run Vista by the way.

After some hours of trial & error, I found a solution at the HM forum, and it worked!

Here it is:

- go to "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc" and open the hosts file with notepad.

- At the bottom of the file, add the following line (without the quotes): "127.0.0.1 localhost"

- Save the file, exit and restart your pc.*

*If you cannot save it to that location, first save it to the desktop, then right-click on it and change the name to only "hosts" (so remove the .txt extension). Then copy&recplace it to the drivers\etc map

After this little work, my database is working perfect :)
Thx a lot, Cealin.

Three years after, I can use stats. :facepalm:
