[morny]

Uninstall PostgreSQL, the delete the PostgreSQL folder in C:\Program Files (thats assuming you dont have a previous database otherwise youll need to backup your database first) then follow these instructions to install PostgreSQL

http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/?f=176

I presume your getting that message that you see in the FAQ at step 7 and as per the FAQ just try a different username like holdemmanager and if that dosent work try something else

If the error appears at a diiferent stage than step 7 then post a screenshot of it

[thedean88]

its not step 7 its after it starts going through the actual installation process and how do i post an image would do so if i knew how?
