This is usually a firewall or windows update issue.
First try to reboot.
If no help, try this:
Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Stop Service
Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Start Service
If that doesnt help delete the \postgresql\8.x\data\postmaster.pid file, if you see it.
Add exceptions to the windows firewall, even if it is off. If you have a 3rd party firewall, do the equivalent or uninstall it temporarily - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=171
Please try following all of these FAQs, step by step:
1) http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=34
2) reinstall the same version of postgresql, using the same \data folder - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=177
3) http://www.holdemmanager.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8261
If that doesn't help you will probably have to reinstall PostgreSQL completely and reimport your hands using these instructions - http://forums.holdemmanager.com/showthread.php?t=20755

Thanks, that worked.
Can u educate me a little.....
I never thought to stop the server as the computer has been off and on and rebooted several times .
Did i need to do a full uninstal, reinstal, update of .net ect. ?

The steps above are in order of ease and length of time to complete. I doubt you needed to reinstall dotnet, but it cant really hurt anything if you did. If you made it all the way to the last link, and had to reinstall a clean DB, then yes, your old DB was probably impossible to reconnect.
