Right click on the “My Computer” icon (either in your start menu, or your desktop) and click manage. Now, click on the “Services and Applications” icon on the left side of this window, and double click on “Services” in the window on the right side. Scroll down until you find “PostgreSQL Database”. Right click on it, and click Properties. On the General tab, under Startup Type, choose “Automatic” and click “Ok.” The next time you restart Windows, PostgreSQL will start automatically. You can start PostgreSQL immediately by clicking Start --> Programs --> PostgreSQL --> Start Service.
i know how to do this but i dont need to cause it has status "automatically". but i proved it again now. i never changed anything about it.
and i also know how to start the service manually. i tried it several times since that problem occured. it doenst work anymore.
As to your other issues:
Are you running any other Anti-Virus/Anti-Spyware/Firewall program? Some of these programs if improperly (or overzealously) configured can stop PostgreSQL from running, so if you could give me a lead on which ones you might have running it would be a good start.
i have the windowse firewall and the avira guard running.
again: i am using pt3 for months now and this problem never occured. it first happened some days ago during a session. at that time i still could start the service manually or by rebooting my system.
then i downloaded the new built, installed it and tried the housekeeping (for the new cache). it always failed after a while and since then the service isnt startable anymore (neither by booting nor manually).
so i cant even make a backup of my db to delete postgresql and reinstall it.
