It's not listing the suits of the cards.

On the Prima auto-import window, click the Configure Database Files button. On the next window, make a note of the folder location of the GameHistory.dat file that you are pointing PT to read from.

Close PT and the poker site. Go to this folder and rename the GameHistory.dat file to GameHistory_bad.dat. Then open the poker site software and play another hand. They should create a new GameHistory.dat file for you to continue to import from. Open PT and and the Prima auto-import window and you should be able to start importing again.

Hi pat, i have already done this re naming process a few weeks ago, so i have a file gamehistory_ba.dat. What should i do if i already have this??

Just name it something else. Once you've renamed it, neither PT2 nor your poker software will do anything with it.

Right, call it gamehistory_bad2.dat

Have you been using the Reset DB's button on the Prima auto-import window? If not, I would suggest doing that on a regular basis once you have made sure all your hands have been imported. It will keep the gamehistory.dat file small meaning hands will import faster and there is less of a chance of it getting corrupted.
