Hello Anika,
please see that we are in different timezones, and I usually try to sleep at night. Please also try to keep your mail on the list, so others can try to help you as well.
Now, dig deeper in the analyzis:
1st) Logon as Admin, checkout services.msc
is there a postgres service running? If not, why not? Any messages there? Try to start the service from service control panel. Check out system event log, application event log.
2nd) where is your PostgreSQL data directory? in a standard installation it is in <program files>\postgres\8.1\data
there should be a log directory within, chechout what is in the youngest logfiles. Maybe post it to the list.
3rd) Try to connect to postgres using psql; that is the command line utilitie
4th) what is Postgresql used for on your computer? "sambc/core.xml" is no application I know connected to "pgadmin". I forwarded your mail to the postgres support list, because propably the problem is NOT connected to the pg-admin
Additional information: the password within the .xml file is most propably the passwort for the user within the database. NOT the postgres Service Account password. The password of the postgres account should be irrelevant for you, since it is only used for the service to connec.t
Best wishes,
Harald

thanks for the complete error description, I bet the culprit is in here:I recently updated my norton anti-virus and norton goback - and up until then - everything for my sambc was working fine now when I try and open sambc and I received the error message:
X 2006-07-09 22:09:19 [CORE] Connection to database failed (could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061)
Is the server running on host "localhost" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
We had many times trouble with antivirus and similiar products interfering with the connections between pgadmin / psql and the Postrges Server.
I recommend to NOT remove the postgres account!!
Please try to configure Norton whatever to allow connections on Port 5432. Or roll back that update.
Best wishes,
Harald
