Re: Service not starting: Error 1053

1) Uninstalled the following programs+program files folder:

File Shredder
Holdem Manager (this is the program I need postgresql for)
mIRC
Proxifier
GetDataBack for FAT and NTFS
Registry Mechanic
TuneUp Utilities
SimpLite
Daemon Tools
Kaspersky (was not installed during the time of the errors so can't be to blame)
PostgresQL

2) Rebooted
3) Ran a new msinfo32 and attached the file to newinfo.zip
4) net user postgres /delete
5) regedit and deleted all keys in software relating to the appz above
5) install msiexec/i postgresql-8.3.msi /Le c:\msiexeclog.txt
   postgresql installation did NOT fail as before (stopping at starting service and not being able to complete installation)
6) Check service running via Administrative Tools=>Services and it says it is
7) Attached postgresql-8.3.log and msiexeclog.txt to newinfo.zip
8) Installed Holdem Manager
9) Saw that it's working; imported files to database
10) Rebooted
11) Everything still working (user running under ./postgres btw)

I will be re-installing some of the above programs and when I run into any problems with it, we will have found what was causing the error.

Thanks for the help all and I will let you know.

Kind regards, Frank.
