Yes, you are right. I didn't stop the server before un-installing. Not good. I should have thought about that. Not sure how to repair that though.

( I learned from you other message :) ) Is there other things that could have been destroyed by the bad un-installment other than pg_config or was that it ? Thanks allot / Jennifer
