I get this error when I open Holdem Manager.
I have inactivated windows firewall and uninstalled my antivirus software.
When I try to start the postreSQL service I get the following error:
Windows could not start the PostreSQL Database Server 8.3 service on Local Computer.
Error 1069: The service did not start due to a logon failure.

I have tried the following:


Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Stop Service

Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Start Service

deleted the \postgresql\8.x\data\postmaster.pid file.

Add exceptions to the windows firewall, even if it is off.

Logon using Local System Account

Whats left is to reinstall postgreSQL and maybe loose my database?

If you reinstall SQL if won't overwrite your old database.
Reinstall SQL 8.3.11 from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database (http://www.postgresql.org)

Also install SQL 8.4.4 to port 5433.
If 8.3 install fails--> use 8.4.4 instead (that WILL require you to reimport your hands into a new database)

Ok I am now trying to reinstall postgres 8.3.
I haven't uninstalled the current version I have, should I do that?

When I specify which folder data should be saved to I choose the same folder I allready have: PostgreSQL\8.3\data, I get this error:
The existing data directory /Date/time setting: floating-point numbers) is not compatible with this server (Date/time setting: 64-bit integers).

I therefore choose to save data in a new folder (data2). I am then asked to provide a password for the account (postgres), I input postgrespass which should be my password (I see this password when trying to open holdem manager) but the password is incorrect..

What to do?

Other possible passwords are postgres or dbpass.

If that doesn't help you need to delete the postgres user before starting the installation:
Open a command box as Administrator and type:
net user postgres /delete

Now you can assign a new password during the installation.

I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to reinstall version 8.4 but I only see 8.4.4.1 on PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database.

When I run the installer it asks me to upgrade, not reinstall. Will I lose my current database if I do this?

If you upgrade/reinstall you won't lose your old databases.
If you want to do a "fresh" install, rename your old SQL 8.4 folder before you run the update.
