    Default Postgresql doesnt start

    Everything was working fine yesterday. I opened my computer today and got a bluescreen while windows was loading. I restarted my computer and windows took 2-3mins to start(worked this time...) but Hm2 can't load anymore because postgresql can't connect. I tried everything suggested in the troubleshoot. UAC off / running as admin / tried to start manually / updated windows / tried to reset password but got an error etc...

    Btw I can't find the postmaster.pid file. The "data" folder is not even there.

    So I uninstalled postgresql and now I can't even reinstall it, I get this error message: A service Postgresql 8.4 already exist.

    Edit: I restored my windows to the point before I uninstalled Postresql.

    What do I do now

    Something I noticed is when I entered windows today my Windows Live Mail asked for my password(which usually automatically connects) and the same thing for MSN.

    Also when I had Postgresql uninstalled, my windows did not take 2-3 mins to load it was fast as usual.

    Which Operating System, Firewall, and Anti-Virus are you using?

    Run a manual Windows Update and install all updates, including all .net framework updates.

    If PostgreSQL 8.4 won't install/run, install a different version of PostgreSQL to a different port, for example PostgreSQL 8.2 to port 5433: http://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/binary...l-8.2.22-1.zip
