Which operating system?
Are you using any 3rd party firewall, anti-spyware, adaware, tuning or registry cleaning programs? And if yes which ones?
Please try to download and install postgresql 8.4 from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database (http://www.postgresql.org) and install it to a non standard folder like c:\postgres or d:\postgres.
tried that aswell. Get an password error everytime.

Link works just fine. Try opening it with a different browser.
Make sure the secondary logon is running:
The secondary logon service is a standard windows service which is available on every windows computer. In the latest versions it is not started automatically. You need to start it via control panel > administrative tools > services. Starting it once should insure it works in the future also.
Try to install PostgreSQL with the 8.4.8 installer from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database (http://www.postgresql.org)
Password is: postgrespass
If it doesn't accept that delete the postgres user first.
click on Start and go to Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt
* If you are on Vista, rightclick and choose "Run as Administrator".
A black box should appear. Type 'net user postgres /delete' (without the quotes) and press enter.
The user is now deleted and you can (re)install PostgreSQL.
lol, of course the link is working. But what's explained on that page doesn't work. And like I've said, I've already tried everything, so also the things you mentioned above.
