Postgres service stops working after a while

[kikkoman]

I have postgres installed on a vista machine and the postgres service stops responding after a random amount hours of computer uptime. That means holdem manager freezes so I have to reboot the computer if I want to continue having stats, really annoying.
I have tried different firewalls and different versions of postgres. I even tried formating the computer and reinstalling.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix it? I would be forever grateful.

If you click Start --> Programs --> PostgreSQL --> Stop Services followed by Start --> Programs --> PostgreSQL --> Start Services that should restart PostgreSQL for you.

Just to clarify I own both holdem manager and poker tracker and the problem is the same with both.

I have tried stopping and startin the service but that doesn't work.

Are you running any firewalls? You may need to configure an exception for PostgreSQL to use port 5432.

Yes I have Outpost security suite but I have tried to disable it and then restart the service but it makes no difference.

I'd recommend checking out this post anyway and see if that helps.
