Hi Thom Thanks for the reply and the log seems to have shed some light. Looks like I have my old postgres 8.3 service still running concurrently which is interfering with the new 9.0 service. This is the message that comes up a lot in the log.
2010-09-24 15:39:34 EST LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2010-09-24 15:39:37 EST LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2010-09-24 15:39:37 EST LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2010-09-24 15:40:07 EST LOG: server process (PID 3724) was terminated by exception 0xC0000005 2010-09-24 15:40:07 EST HINT: See C include file "ntstatus.h" for a description of the hexadecimal value. 2010-09-24 15:40:07 EST LOG: terminating any other active server processes 2010-09-24 15:40:07 EST WARNING: terminating connection because of crash of another server process 2010-09-24 15:40:07 EST DETAIL: The postmaster has commanded this server process to roll back the current transaction and exit, because another server process exited abnormally and possibly corrupted shared memory. 2010-09-24 15:40:07 EST HINT: In a moment you should be able to reconnect to the database and repeat your command. It's a bit strange though because I did do an uninstall of the postgres 8.3 before installing the 9.0. The 8.3 service is still present in Windows Services but I've disabled with with no effect on the problem. I notice it still is also listed as a separate server in pgAdmin but when it's activated it refers to the 9.0 databases. I'm guessing that I have to do a deeper uninstall of the 8.3 service. Do you have any pointers on how to go about this?
