My laptop crashed this morning and I got a BSOD.

Now when trying to open HEM I get the 'couldn't connect to database... 127.0.01' error, which I've had before.

Due to me being useless with computers, I can't remember how to resolve this.

I've had a look at the FAQ and it talks about playing around with Windows firewall, but I use Comodo, and it says that if you use a different firewall thos steps are probably irrelevant.

When I go into control panel > event viewer, the Postgres service has not started, and when I right click on it, the option to 'start' is greyed out.

Also, when I've had issues in the past, I have had to reconfigure my HUD each time. Anything I can do to save my settings before resolving this?


Any help much appreciated.

Disregard above post. It seems that deleting the postmaster.pid file and a couple of system restarts has got it working again.
