Because I had a very annoying error in my HM for quitte a while (I could only start & use HM once, if I closed it after one session and then wanted to launch it again for another, it wouldnt. Till I rebooted that is.) I thought; why not re-install both PostgreSQL and HM.
I uninstalled both (ofcourse after making a backup) and tried to re-install, but got the following error; Internal account lookup failure: (next words are translated from Dutch) there is no allotment made between accountnames and security ID's.

Could you help me out here?

Besides this error I also got the error that 'postgres' user already exists. I solved this by renaming to 'postgres2', guess that's fine right?

Many many many thanks in advance, I feel nude without my HM at the tables :).
