Or is that with Vista or > something? Yes, it did change with 8.2. A couple of other points whilst we're on the subject: - It says to click postgresql-8.2-int.msi to install. That's wrong - it's postgresql-8.2.msi. - It says that 'one should expect performance on Windows to be lower [because of the per-process architecture], especially where large numbers of small queries are made.' That's not really accurate - it will be slower when there are large numbers of short lived connections. Lots of queries in one connection should be fine though. - It should be noted that on Vista, UAC can be re-enabled following installation. We are aiming to fix this for 8.3. - It's "pgAdmin III", not PGAdmin III or PgAdmin III (yeah, I know, get a life Dave...) Regards, Dave
