"unable to log in to database"
"reason,server closed the connection unexpectedly"
at a loss of what to do. tried to deinstall postgreSQL and reinstall,suceeded,but samt error message
thankful for help
ps, im no computer expert

Did you upgrade or add a new firewall/antivirus software to your machine lately?

no,but i have been playing around with my proxysettings lately,but everything,s back to like it was before now.
Can i deinstall pokertracker and reinstall it again,will that fix the problem and will i be able to retain all the info I have there
thank you for your help

Uninstalling and reinstalling likely won't help. Click Start --> Control Panel --> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer and see if you see any PostgreSQL related errors in the Application logs there - if you do, please let me know what they say.

yes ,plenty error messenges

"warning could not create listen socket for localhost

error cest fatal could not create any TCP/IP sockets

"timed out waiting for server startup"

hope that says more to you,than it says to me....

It does. What version of Windows are you running?

hallo again,i have windows xp

i found this page http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/stat ... start.html
17.3.1. Server Start-up Failures
FATAL: could not create TCP/IP listen socket

seems it is what I,ve got
heres are my exakt errors

"CEST WARNING could not create listen socket for localhost"
"CEST FATAL could not create any TCP/IP sockets"

However, I dont know how to proceed from here

cheers

Click Start --> Programs --> PostgreSQL 8.3 --> Configuration Files --> Edit pg_hba.conf

Paste everything after the line that begins "# TYPE DATABASE USER "; it's possible it is not set up properly.

# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD

# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
# IPv6 local connections:
#host all all ::1/128 trust
