Poker Programs

I have completed installing Universal Re player into my computer and can't figure out how to make it run any of my hand histories... lol I am the greatest! I tried tinkering around and clicked on settings and tried importing the hand histories and nothing. One time I thought I was gonna watch a game because it looked like the hand history went in and I pressed play and ... nothing. Sooo I decided to install pokerstove and that was nice, I tinkered around with a few hands and saw how they would manage against another. I think If I am at a final table and have reads on players this tool can become very helpfull. I also tried to instal pokertrace but for some reason it kept going to a dead screen... maybe it is not available anymore or I might need to subscribe to the site to be able to download it. Either way I am anxious to start searching some forums to get an idea about how to run the re player program. I also decided it was also time to download PokerTracker3 and get it free for 2 months before I make the purchace, which I am positive I will do. This will give me an opportunity to tinker around with the program getting a long chance to become familiar with it. I might have to call upon a friend to help me figure out the new software and show me how to use it but again I am willing to pay him for his computer expertise and time, as I am sure it will take more than a 4 hour afternoon. (I'll order take out, his favourit kind and make sure I have lots of pop).
However a little snag while trying to download PT3, it has all these extra click here, apply this, olay to that, preferences change, and when I finally got that figure out now it has to download this thing called PostgrSQL, so I go to that link and then it sayw to have that with vista I need to download Service Pack 1, and now it says that it will take 1 hour to download that ... lol lol lol, this is actually hillarious because I was in need of a little time break from poker before I go back to those $3, 90 man SnG's on Full Tilt and remind varience that it was I who baked him those cookies he loved so much, that bob's his uncle, that training at PokerVT has improved my game and I AM a solid player... also hoping that the god of the turn can cuddle up beside my dead cat and guide me through crushing a few and let me have a string of cashes and even my first victory at this game which had evaded me for long enough. Compared to all the freerolls I have been playing lately it is almost equal in level of skill. So I should in theory be able to do very well at this level, not what I have been able to show so far.
I don't know which poker program to download next, which one is free... maybe I only need to get SNG power tools or SNG Wizard which I believe costs money and if that is the case I will wait a month or so to get used to the programs I just installed, and learn how to use them first. I think I'll wait to get used to the programs I just got first then ask in the forums what would be wise to get next. Cool like right on, I mean honestly... only 38 more minutes on the download for Service Pack 1, then I get to install PostgreSQL which is followed by PokerTracker3 the icing on the cake, the enchelata, the .25 cent bubble gum machine when you were 5 (the big gums that your parents had to bite in half for ya), dairy queen on a hot hot day, PT3 Baby! You all know exactly how this feels for the first time... it's always better the first time.
Yeah Yeah!
I am gonna send an plate of Turkey to the god of the river, turkey always makes me tired and want to sleep. Maybe when I get near the bubble he'll be out like a light and I can soar into the final table with some chips... piles of chips... final table... hhmmm donuts... giggidy giggidy, giggidy goo.

EDIT: It is now almost 8 hours since the post about downloading. I have put some programs into the replayer and was able to watch them whil waiting for the PT3 to finish setting up. I then figured out how to manually import all my old files from my crappy old computer. Then I wasted 1 hr importing files from Betfair and Tigergaming... which PT3 doesn't recognize of coure... lol then I finally got it set up to auto import all the files from mansion poker, fulltilt and pokerstars as I type this I notice it hasn't even completed Fulltilt let alone the other 2 sites. I imagine the information will be so valuable to me and very much increase my ability to avoid marginal situations. I also guess this means the Betfair and Tiger will have to remain "hobby sites" and focus on Pokerstars, Fulltilt and Mansion to better track my game and decrease my leaks I figure this thing will take a while to finish getting all the hands and be quicker in the future... though it does please me somewhat to know I played that many hands and that many games for it to take this long to complete the auto import. I will spend the next day trying to multi table and play free rolls. I will pick my favorite ones to play in a few each day... for the glory of it, and then begin the 100 SnG challenge next week. What I might do, as suggested by you know who, is play 100 $1 SnG 1 table first to see how many table I can play at a time and how fast I can pump out 100 games. Maybe even 200 games, then when I feel good about my pace and amount of tables best for me I will attack the $3 on FullTilt. I can currently manage 6 tables at 7 my head starts spinning and I make mistakes I wouldn't if I were playing 5 or 6.
