Hi,

as the title indicates, this is not strictly speaking a HEM issue, but maybe it's something other people have too.
As of today, I can't start up HEM on my desktop. It turns out that the PostgreSQL server isn't running.
It won't start either.
When I enter "net user" in a command window, it does show the postgres userid, but no processes are running for that id.
Is there some Windows update (I run Vista Home Premium) that's causing this?

OK, I found it myself. There was something wrong with the postmaster.pid lock file. Deleting that made my problem go away.
