Hmm...I assumed XP Pro would be the same as NT/2000. I guess it is time to debug why ipc-daemon is not working for you under XP Pro. It seems it should just give a error instead of using all CPU. Yes. Anything else changed? Nothing on the PostgreSQL side. However, it is built against cygipc 1.13-2 instead of 1.11-1. See the cygipc ChangeLog for the details. I tried about everything I could think of. You may want to try the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. IIRC, there are users there using XP.

Re: Postgresql installation problems.
Kurt, Note I do not have access to XP Home or Pro, so there is a limit to how much I can help. Any XP users successfully running PostgreSQL? If so, please post your experiences to the list. I'm especially interested in XP Home, since I assume that XP Pro will be the same as NT/2000.

Please see the following thread: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-cygwin/2002-11/msg00037.php It may be helpful to you -- especially if you are using XP Home which is uncharted territory. I have a problem getting the ipc-deamon to work. When I run ipc-daemon --install-as-service, it doesn't want to start. What version of Cygwin are you using? An older version (IIRC, 1.3.13), had issues with running ipc-daemon as a service. Please upgrade to the latest Cygwin, if necessary. If I then try my initdb, it hangs itself creating the template1 database, like in case the ipc-daemon isn't running. The above implies that you are not using the latest Cygwin PostgreSQL, please upgrade to the latest. Note that the documentation says that you have to run initdb before you start the ipc-daemon service, but I thought that that is wrong and initdb requires the service too. The above typo has been recently corrected: http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/postgresql/postgresql-7.2.3.README I've also tried just running ipc-daemon , but that didn't seem to help either, it always hangs creating the database. Please read the README regarding what clean up is necessary when switching the account under which ipc-daemon runs.

I wonder why it never got corrected. :) Please read the README regarding what clean up is necessary when switching the account under which ipc-daemon runs. I did remove the files in /tmp.
