I run Vista32, and I have all the latest updates. HEM is installed on a different partition (D). I also keep my PostgreSQL database on D, though the program itself is on C. I run PostgreSQL 9.0.x. A while back I had to wipe C and reinstall windows, so Windows doesnt seem to "know" that HEM is installed, so if I go to uninstall it wont be among the listed programs. However HEM has worked fine for the 6 months since I did this.
I started HEM today and got a common error:
"The following error occurred when trying to open the database: Failed to establish a connection to '127.0.0.1'."
I have made no relevant changes on my PC that I can think of since I last used HEM (yesterday).
I went to pgAdmin and my database wasnt listed, which I thought was strange.
I went to task manager > services and PostgreSQL wasnt running. I tried to start it (right click > start) but no response.
I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling PostgreSQL several times, both version 8 and 9 from the website, and the installer provided with HEM. Now I get the following error when I try to install it:

When I follow the path provided I find there is no folder named "Appdata". However in the folder "Users" there are now several folders named postgres, postgres.username, postgres.username.000, etc. When I uninstall I get the following error message:

If I go to task manager > services and try to start postgreSQL I am told "The operation could not be completed. Access is denied."
I have tried starting or creating a new database from pgAdmin but get the following error message:

I have uninstalled avast! and deactivated windows firewall, but to no avail. I have also tried activating and deactivating UAC, no effect.
Note that I cant uninstall HEM in the normal way. I tried moving my current installation to the trash can and making a fresh install but I was told that HEM was already installed - which of course is true, though I have no idea how to remove it so that Windows "knows" I have removed it.
Halp! What to dooooo?!?!
