postgres startup

I downloaded postgres 8.3 when I purchased holdem manager. I then bought poker tracker 3 and postgres is asking for the password again which i do not know. It is also telling me to check my configuration. i uninstalled then reinstalled and the same problem is occurring.thanks

The default values are:
Server: localhost
Port: 5432
User: postgres
Password: dbpass

If this password does not work for you, you can disable password authentication by following the directions of this tutorial.

Did you install PostgreSQL? Click Start --> Programs --> PostgreSQL --> Start Services to start the PostgreSQL service. If you don't see the "Start Services" link or the PostgreSQL folder then you don't have PostgreSQL installed and you will need to download and install PokerTracker 3 Build 4 with PostgreSQL from our download page.

Thanks, i think i only need to activate the services lol. Altho it has been working the last few days, today the database seems to have wiped itself whilist i was playing..? When i start it up again it tells me to enter housing to update the cache in order for hud to work properley, even tho it had been before hand.. I have done this and my db is stil empty?? thanks

The PT3 HUD can work without the cache it's just markedly slower. When you're done playing, run the full housekeeping and you shouldn't get that message again unless you add new statistics to your HUD.
