Ive been trying to install postgres 8.4 and 8.3.10 without success

When about 99% of the installation is done i get the message:

Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly
The database cluster initialisation failed.

When i press "OK" the installation continues and I get the message:

Setup has finished installing PostgreSQL on your computer

But when I start Holdemmanager I get the message:

Failed to establish a connection to '127.0.0.1'

Which Operating System, Firewall, and Anti-Virus are you using?

Try this one:

1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
2) run the command - start > programs > accessories > command prompt > right-click > run as administrator

net user postgres /delete
4) reboot.
5) Download and UnZip this file to a new folder. http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/postgresql.zip
6) Then run the postgresql-8.3.msi file and follow these instructions - FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Reinstall PostgreSQL (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/70/Reinstall+PostgreSQL)
