Click Start (on Win XP click Run) type services.msc and hit enter. Locate the PostgreSQL service - is it running? If not, can you start it?

[jackherer]

error 1069: the service did not start due to log in failure

should i change it to postgres in the properties / log on ?

[kraada]

In the same services window make sure that Secondary Logon is running - if it's not, start it and change its properties so that it's run automatically. Then try restarting PostgreSQL.

[jackherer]

secondary log on is running and already set to run automatically
