If I'm the first person to attempt to install PostGreSQL 8.0.1 in that environment, then I guess this is a bug report. :-) I think you're reporting to the wrong place ;-). If Virtual PC fails to act like a real PC, it's not the fault of the application that exposed the deficiency in their emulation. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
