Is it easy to It's very easy to uninstall - use the uninstaller in Control Panel -> Add or remove programs, and it does it all itself.

Should I uninstall and then reinstall as a windows service? Depends on what you want to do. If you usually log in as a privileged user, you can't start or stop the Postmaster manually - it won't run from a privileged account - so in this case it might make sense to install it as a service which you can then start or stop using the shortcuts which the installer sets up for you. --Ray. ------------------------------------------------------------- Raymond O'Donnell http://www.galwaycathedral.org/recitals rod@xxxxxx Galway Cathedral Recitals ------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
