Hi!

The problem has arisen recently. I use the trial version. I've tried the Trial release 2 and beta 13. No help

Please be more specific. What exactly is your problem?
Also, give some background, operating system, version of postgres, etc.

that's the error I get. I use Windows XP Pro SP2, I just updated postgres to 8.3.3 and it didn't fix the problem. The problem is recent.. so I have no idea what triggered it. I have the same problem on my laptop. Both run XP and trial version of PT3.

Could it be some Windows security update? Since I don't use any firewall software..

localhost. And the error might appear when I'm playing and using the hud. Or then it might appear when I'm browsing my stats. So it's not related to any specific query.

you say you have the same problem on your laptop - are they both accessing the same database?

On the laptop the problem is more rare.. they both have separate databases.. and both run postgre locally

Do you use any security or anti-virus software at all?

I've seen PT3 crash in all sorts of interesting and exciting ways, but I haven't run into this one. It does sound a bit like something on your system is forcing the connection between PT3 and Postgres closed.

try disabling the av and try running pt & postgres in an empty m/c with no other processes for a while to see if the problem persists then.
