Hi all! I have windows XP professional 2003. Yesterday evening I
installed, while turning off my pc, some updates of the os and this
morning the database server does not start!! May some have a trick to
help me? I fund something on the web but too unspecific...

Thanks!!

What were the updates you installed?
Does the eventlog show anything?
What happens when you try to manually start it?

Re: PostGreSql cannot start after windows update

Dear Richard. I've now solved reading a French forum.
I obtained an error 1069 service cannot start due to logon failure when
I tried to start the server manually.

Now: it's sufficient to go in the options of the user postgres (Local
Users->postgres) and change the settings for the password to set that
it never expires...

So the service will run!!
