I am trying to set up PostgreSQL. I can not get past the Service configuration. the screen shows
Service Name: PostgreSQL Database Server 8.3
Account Name: postgres
Account domain: GARRETTOLSON (not sure why it has my name)
Account password: i have tried both postgrespass and postgresuser

when i hit next it gives an error stating
Invalid username specified: Logon failur: unknown user name or password.

What do i need to do to get this program to work so i can continure with holdem manager installation?

when i get to the initialize database cluster page i make the changes on server and client and put the password in and hit next. i get a directory error
"the specified data directory is not empty.
if you have an existing database with the same major version number, you do not need to initialize a database cluster.
if you have an existing database with a different major version you need to backup your old database and create a new on."

now what???

1) If you have an old database already and dont want to lose it (could be a PT database either) then untick initialise database cluster and finish the installation

2) if you dont care about previous database and want to start fresh then go to C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\ and delete the database folder and finish the installation

got a little further now...its starts installing and the bar gets almost full and it states the user account already exists and uninstalls itself???
