Hi, I finally installed PT3 with PostgreSQL 8.3 on my Computer, my operating system is Windows Vista.

So I switched off the UAC and ran PT3 as administrator.

When PT3 comes down to the 'Configure PostgreSQL Database' tab I am always getting this errormessage.

I am hoping to find help here.

Is postgres still running? Can you see postgres processes if you open Task Manager -> Processes?
If not, try Start -> Programs -> Postgres -> Start Service.

Hmm. Sounds like a permissions issue, but I don't really know enough about postgres or Vista, so I'll try to get someone who does to have a look at this thread..

What version of PokerTracker are you using?

Try manually downloading and installing PostgreSQL 8.3.3 and see if you run into the same problem.

If you are still having trouble, send me a message via the Support system and request to schedule remote assistance with me where I would logon to your computer and resolve the issue.

Best regards,

Derek
