This is usually a firewall or windows update issue.

First try to reboot.

If no help, try this:

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

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

If that doesnt help delete the \postgresql\8.x\data\postmaster.pid file, if you see it. And reboot.


If that doesn't help you will have to reinstall PostgreSQL completely

Hi Patvs and thanks

It doesn't work.
I can't see that file anywhere.

To " reinstall PostgreSQL completely" what do I do?

Delete the whole thing? Sorry, I'm an old guy:D

I downloaded the combo installer mentioned in the 'quick solution'.

When opening do I install PostgresQL? If I do this will I lose all my hands? I have hands from this computer and my last two.

Please try this before reinstalling anything:
Solutions:
1. Reboot your computer
2. If that doesn't help look for the hidden system file postmaster.pid in the postgresql data folder, delete it and reboot your computer again.
3. Check the postgresql service in the windows services (control panel->administration). Sometimes it helps to change the Logon As.. to "local system account"
4. Check our FAQ:

If you reinstall Postgresql you will loose your database
