I've been using HEM for a few months now without any problems, all of a sudden I start it up and get the following messages

'The following error occured when trying to open the database: failed to establish a connection to ###.#.#.#'

then

HEM has determined you are running Vista. You should do the following:
1) Disable user access control in your control panel (I have done this)
2) Right click on hem.exe in you HEM folderand make sure it is running as administrator. If it is greyed out then it is alreay running as administartor (it is already greyed out)

then it comes up with a 'database control panel' trying to connect to postgrsl

----

I apologize in advance - I'm very computer illiterate. I have user acount control turned off . I assume it is a problem with postgrsql?
