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?

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!!
