SOLUTION to PostgreSQL problem caused by Microsoft Windows auto update

[Rvg72]

Hi, Microsoft released a patch last night that has caused some issues with the postgresql service for some people on Vista. The following steps seem to get around this problem:

1: Go to "C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc" and open the "hosts" file with notepad

It might look something like this:
**************************************************
# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

::1 localhost
************************************************** ****

2: Enter "127.0.0.1 localhost" (without the quotes) at the bottom of the file
4: Save the file
5: Restart your computer

Thanks,
