Hi
I have been experimenting with Postgresql on windows since version 8.3.
However I never read much documentation.
Previously I was always using Windows XP Prof. with older versions of Kaspersky Internet Security.
Recently I bought Windows 7 Prof. 32 bit and also the 2010 version of Kaspersky.
I never had any problems with Postgresql under my old configuration.
Is Postgresql more "sensitive" under Windows 7 or do you think it's perhaps my 2010 Kaspersky?
I struggled for a couple of days before I could get it working under my new configuration.
I see in win 7 you have to say "run as administrator".
Also, after I temporarily disabled my antivirus and firewall software the installation worked.
When I tried to connect with PGAdmin it kept rejecting my password.
The funny thing was that it never asked me for a username, only a password.
Now I remember from previously that Postgres was also the default username.
I managed to register the user Postgres under PGAdmin and it worked.
Didn't it previously automatically register/create the Postgres user for PGAdmin?
Any way, everything seems fine now for my local Postgres installation.
I think next time i'll first look in the docs.
I must say I am surprised how many people respond to questions and how quickly they do it as well.
Thanks
H.F.
