Subject: [GENERAL] postmaster services 
  problem

  Hi,

  I’m having problem starting the 
  postmaster service at my office’s server now. Everything works fine for a 
  year. But today morning, the I was unable to log into the database 
  server.

  When I tried to start the 
  postmaster service, it says, 
  “The service started and stopped. 
  Some services will stop automatically when there is no work to 
  do”.

Take a look in 
the logfile (probably in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0\data\pg_log judging by 
the age of your install and the error message) and the event log to see if 
there are further clues there.

Regards, 
Dave.
