When I tried to (before clicking OK), there was no initdb.log file - or any other file - in the 'C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\tmp\ directory. >One try to repair this: login as Administrator, open services.msc, and from >the postgreSQL service refill the login information. That does reset the >LOGON_AS_SERVICE privilege. I'll give this a try and see what happens. George
