Simple Postgre SQL problem that I'm sure you guys can fix

[xplore]

So naturally it's just the failed to connect to DB, can't start service, started service .. try again.

Now I know why this is happening, i deleted the user 'postgres' from the accounts page in control panel.

I didn't know it was pertinent to the program working as it's just a DB program, why would it need it's own account in Windows to run? It should just run under a username within the account active on Windows right?

Anyway, i'm running Vista x64 and have all updates installed.

I use ESET for AV and a basic firewall I have control over and allowed Postgre full access.

The postgres user is needed for the administration of the database functions and the postgres service.
You should reinstall postgresql trying to reconnect to your database:

Okay, i just uninstalled and reinstalled the prog, created a new DB and imported my archived hands and all is working.
