Hello,
I just installed PT3, I didn't have the postgres software so i had to install that as well. After I did that it didn't work so I uninstalled it. Now I try to reinstall it but the following error occurs:
"Service PostgreSQL Database Server 8.3(pqsql-8.3) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services"
I have no firewall/anti-virus/spyware. I also followed the PokerTracker3_Manual_Uninstall_Reinstall_PostgreSQL. I do not know what to do next can you help me?

This error occurs as a result of anti-virus, anti-spyware, or anti-spam software not allowing system services to be installed. Disable these programs and attempt to install again. These issues have been known to happen with IE 8 Beta 2, NOD 32, Norton Antivirus, F-Secure Antivirus, ZoneAlarm and Spampal. Once PostgreSQL has been successfully installed you may reactivate your third-party software.

F-Secure in particular may need to be completely uninstalled as it appears to cause a lot of problems with PostgreSQL. I have been informed that they are aware of the issue and working to get it fixed on their end.
