not quite sure whats going on so i'll just list everything that comes up
i open holdem manager and get holdem manager has determined that you are running microsoft vista. in order to have holdem manager run well you should disable user access control in your control panel-users section. this is needed in order to properly install postgre. No idea what this is and cant find anything called user access control in the users section of my control panel but i already have postgre from running PT3 so dont think this is the problem. i then click ok on this and get something called database control panel, i click connect and get a connection to postgreSQL could not be made, would you like to have holdem manager attempt to start the service? i click yes and get sorry holdem manager was unable to start the service so click ok and get a contradicting message of holdem manager has started the service please start again :S then i'm just back to the database control panel :S:S help required please

I'm having the exact same problem.
Now I was able to disable "User Account Control" but even once I did this, HEM still would not work. Is this the same as disabling "User Access Control" or not?

I'm very frustrated :(
