1. Go to Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools (Need to be using classic view in Windows Vista) / Services. The Services dialog will pop up.

2. Scroll to PostgreSQL Database Server. If it isn't started (as indicated in the status column) right click on it and choose Start. If it starts and then stops or was already started, follow the steps below:


when i try to follow these steps it wont let me start due to "log on failure"

just an fyi, i have a new computer, trying to install hem, have windows 7, uninstalled the mcafee i paid $100 for 3 years, disabled windows firewall, added those five exceptions to windows firewall, and i'm still stuck.

Try installing SQL 8.4 on a different port.
If that fails--> just stick to 8.3

Large stats: hud options--> player preferences--> appearance tab--> turn OFF scale font
