i compressed my database lastnight and then today when i went to open pt again after a scheduled system restart i got this error msg:

******
unable to connect to the database

101 - SQLSTATE = 08001
server closed the connection unexpectedly
this probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request



thanks in advance for any help

This error means PostgreSQL isn't running.

Go to the c:\program files\postgresql\8.2\data folder. Is there a file called postmaster.pid there? If so, delete it and restart the computer and see if it works again.
