Hi, the lsp-fix did the trick. As you supposed it was a personal firewall (however a great product, called armor2net personal), which unfortunately was broken with the winsock lib. Strange problem with it however, that it hasn't got any problems with the earlier version of Postgres (last i had to use was: 8.0.4 on win32) I reconnected my windows-integrated firewall, which caused some problems, but i managed it to work (System Properties/Advanced/Performance -> Settings/ Data Execution Prevention/Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select: Add-> psql, pgadmin, postmaster) Thanks for the help, Istvan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Magnus Hagander" <mha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <nagyist@xxxxxx>; <pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2006 9:24 PM Subject: RE: problem with windows xp sp2 and postgres-8.1.3 > first of all, great effort from you this tool. > > Problem exists with following config: > - Windows XP Pro, SP2 (English). > - PostgreSQL-8.1.3 > - lot of development programs, and IDE-s (for the clients i > am working unfortunately they are windoz-based :-(...). > > Same problem occurs as described here > and here > <http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-ports/2005-10/msg00001.php> . > ========================================================= > "could not create inherited socket: error code 10022". > ========================================================= This sounds a lot like broken firewall, broken antivirus, broken antispyware or such software.

No, the intergrated firewall should work fine, as long as it's not blocking the connections (meaning if it's disabled, it shouldn't be a problem). It's known not to have the LSP bug. //Magnus
