Without having changed a thing I suddenly can not start HEM.

I get the message:

A connection to PostgresSQL could not be made. Should HEM start the service.

HEM has started the service try again.

Same message.

Settings:
Server Name 127.0.0.1 Port 5432 Login postgres password dbpass

As I said I have not changed a thing. It worked fine a few hours ago.

Thanks for your help.

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

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

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