Uninstall PostgreSQL, the delete the PostgreSQL folder in C:\Program Files (thats assuming you dont have a previous database otherwise youll need to backup your database first) then follow these instructions to install PostgreSQL

http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/?f=176

I presume your getting that message that you see in the FAQ at step 7 and as per the FAQ just try a different username like holdemmanager and if that dosent work try something else

If the error appears at a diiferent stage than step 7 then post a screenshot of it

Im just seeing an advert when i load that Pic, also when your posting the Pic its better to save it as a jpeg as its much smaller in size than a PNG file
