Try to install a standard postgresql version from www.postgresql.org.

Start with 8.4: http://www.enterprisedb.com/getfile.jsp?fileid=810

If that doesn't work try 8.3: http://www.enterprisedb.com/getfile.jsp?fileid=806

This is usually a firewall or windows update issue.

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://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/275/Windows+Firewall+%7B47%7D+Defender+Problems

Please try following these FAQs, step by step:

1) http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/91/Can't+Connect+%7B47%7D+Failed+to+Start+PostgreSQL+
2) reinstall the same version of postgresql, using the same \data folder - http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/71/Reinstall+PostgreSQL+Preserving+Old+Database
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

1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
2) Use our combo installer to reinstall PostgreSQL. Make sure you un-check Holdem Manager during installation. http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/Holdem_Manager_Setup.exe

If that installer fails to install PostgreSQL, please reinstall PostgreSQL using the following instructions:
A) Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt > Right-Click > Run As Administrator

net user postgres /delete
B) Reboot.
C) Try installing this version of PostgreSQL - http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/Postgres_8.3.9-v1.0.7.exe

If that one fails, follow those reinstall instructions but download, unzip, and install this version - http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/postgresql.zip

Hi,

I cant seem to install postgres either. I tried all your sugestions but nothing works.

I have windows 98, and i tried turning of the firewall. Unstalling Avira virus gaurd.

I tried downloading postgres direstly from postgres website, but it asks for a password which i dont have.

Do you have any more ideas?

Thanks!

Holdemmanager doesn't support Windows 98, so even if you are able to install postgresql you will not be able to run the latest holdemmanager versions.
