can't get postgre to stop ****ing up

[feitr]

ok followed it to the letter and it seemed to work (didn't play on any tables so don't know if HUD was working). But then today when i turned my computer on the exact same problem occurred. It was even working after i reinstalled norton etc, but after turning comp off then on boom broken. So what to do? Should i not have turned windows firewall etc back on?

I just don't get it coz it was working perfectly for ages then i uninstalled it and reinstalled it next day and this shit happens.

Do the same again but try it for a couple of days without Norton and use an alternative antivrus like AVG free which ive never seen causing an issue, turning the firewall and defender on after you add exceptions should work fine

The key is to have all the viruses/firewalls etc uninstalled when you reinstall postgreSQL and then you can add them back, since youve already done the exceptions you basically just need to uninstall the antivirus and uninstall and reinstall postgreSQL

Unfortunately until Microsoft make Vista more user friendly or PostgreSQL release a patch to stop Vista blocking it then some people will have this inconvenience. FWIW not everyone has these issues, for some people it works no problem, im one of the unlucky ones like yourself that it does cause problems for
