Hi, i've been working like crazy to try to resolve this issue, i've followed every possible option suggested in the forum but nothing has worked.

I just reinstalled postgresql again and i can't get the service to start. I've checked the task manager and it is not running.

If you could tell me how to get it going that would be a start.

Thanks,
Aaron

The following has worked for a few people who had more serious issues getting it to work

1) Edit hosts file making the only line in the file "127.0.0.1 localhost" without the quotes
2) uninstall postgresql
3) reboot
4) rename the c:\program files\postgresql folder to something else.
5) install latest version of postgresql - should be 8.3
6) launch HM
