Hi Adrian Thanks for getting back to me so soon! 1) Yes, I downloaded postgresql-9.2.4-1-windows.exe one click installer from the EDB web page. I see the page format has changed a little recently, but it is still the same file. 2) No, I have only ever tried to installed version 9.2 3) Yes -though there were errors reported in the install log, which I did not get the first time I installed the program. The first time I installed Postgresql, I got it to work and connect okay even in pgAdmin III. A bit later, I forgot the password as I was using Navicat which remembers your password, so I tried to re-install it (then remembering the password of course!), but could not get a successful reinstall or re-connection using pgAdmin. 4) Attached is the only pg_hba.conf file I seem to have. Checked for this file in: C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.2. C:\Users\SDB\AppData\Local\Temp -Maybe I should have a pg_hba.conf that is not a sample file? Also, do you think there us something wrong with my uninstall, such as not removing files or hidden windows users properly? I do not know how to remove these. I just went to Control Panel, Programs and Features, selected Postgresql and Uninstall. Both the install and uninstall should work flawlessly. The only thing I can see is that I have installed the program once before, and I have put my data on my d: drive to separate it from the program in case of software problems, but I got Postgresql to correctly find my data before..
