I have installed 8.2 on a Windows 2000 laptop. I think it is installed. From the pgAdmin, it shows "Servers (1)" and it is named PostgreSQL Database Server 8.2 (localhost:5432). Right clicking for says I can stop services or disconnect so I am guessing that it is running. Is that correct? Under that, there is a Databases(1) folder with the component "postgres". Right clicking on it does not give a choice to start or stop. What is this telling me? On the file menu, when I select "add server" and fill in the boxes, I get an error message "An error has occurred: Error connecting to the server: FATAL: password authentication failed for user myadminaccnt." When I setup 8.3, I used my myadminaccnt password for the installation, I used it again on the next request for a password. So I have used only it for all the requested passwords. I don't know if this has any relationship, but when I installed 8.3, I tried to use myadminaccnt as the user name but it said that was missing a right so I elected to let 8.3 build a user "postgreadmin" with the same password. How can I go forward? When I build this again on another machine, how do I avoid this problem?
