Sorry, i had 64 bit, i checked, i tough that i cant make it work because i have 32.

But i still got the problem. pokertracker 4 starts nicely but postgreSQL wont

Now i notised that the pokertracker is 32 bit

instalation Configure PostgreSQL Installation
help picture shows "server", "service user", "Database user"
And under it "port", "Password", "Password"

But my porgrams doesn't shows service user and it's password ollenkaan, i mean that those part are missing completely

and after it comes:
The PostgreSQL installer did not complete successfully.

This one is 64-bit 9.0.

PokerTracker is a 32 bit application but the majority of the gains from going to 64 bit will come by using 64 bit PostgreSQL - it uses a lot more resources than PT4 does.

Either way, please follow our uninstall/reinstall directions here and that should help you get everything set up and working.

When uninstallin comes:

Error stoping service postressql-x64-9.0

Error deleting service postressql-x64-9.0


The data directory (C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.0\data) and service user account (postgres) have not been removed

Uninstallation completed

And after that i try to install new, comes:

problem running post-install step. installation may not complete correctly
the database cluster initialisation failed

Setup finished installing PostgreSQL on your computer


And when i start pokertracker 4, comes

Configure PostgreSQL server

I press OK

little waiting...

Unable to connect to this database. Please check the configuration

Is there a database in the C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.0\data folder? It'd be in the base subfolder.

I was trying to look other ways to get things working and i noticed, that PostgreSQL has had lot of problems with F-secure, and of cource i have F-secure, maybe that is what causes the problems?

That won't help. With no data folder though the best way to start now is to create a new blank folder on the root of the C drive (call it C:\PostgreSQL or some such) and try installing there. That can work better for some people.

"Unable to login to database(postgres).Reason: could not
connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is
the server running the host "???" and accepting TCP/IP
