Open this file using Notepad:
c:\programme\poker tracker omaha\pokertrackeromahaimport.txt

1. Does it look like it contain valid hand histories or a tournament summary?

2. Using the Notepad men, select File > Save As... On the window that opens look at the bottom where it says Encoding. What option is selected? It should say ANSI. If it doesn't, select ANSI then save the file and try the import again.

It tells my (clicking on "Open file w/ errors"):

The file this error came from:
...\pokertrackeromahaimport.txt

Could not be found.


And obviously it doesn't exist in my pto folder.

btw: I've got no problem importing it manually (copying to a file a load this one).

I just realized the problem is you are using the regular Import window. For PokerStars imports you need to be using the PokerStars auto-import window for Stars hands and summaries.
