I have been getting the common connection problem for PostGresSQL after either installing Norton and or a recent windows update. This has meant I cannot access HEM.

I have followed the lengthy http://208.109.95.123/faq/afmmain.aspx?faqid=171 but when i get to reinstalling PostGresSQL i get the error message
user 'postgres' could not be created. The user account already exists.

I thought I had uninstalled everything but this is stoppong me reinstall it.

Any ideas how to overcome this ?

This is on a laptop with Vista and my second computer version of HEM.

Try another name and be sure you put this name for every "postgres" you see.
