Hmm...I assumed XP Pro would be the same as NT/2000. I guess it is time to debug why ipc-daemon is not working for you under XP Pro. > It seems it should just give a error instead of using all CPU.

Re: Postgresql installation problems.
Kurt, Note I do not have access to XP Home or Pro, so there is a limit to how much I can help. Any XP users successfully running PostgreSQL? If so, please post your experiences to the list. I'm especially interested in XP Home, since I assume that XP Pro will be the same as NT/2000.

Please see the following thread: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-cygwin/2002-11/msg00037.php It may be helpful to you -- especially if you are using XP Home which is uncharted territory. > I have a problem getting the ipc-deamon to work.

The above "typo" has been recently corrected: http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/postgresql/postgresql-7.2.3.README > I've also tried just running "ipc-daemon &", but that didn't seem > to help either, it always hangs creating the database. Please read the README regarding what clean up is necessary when switching the account under which ipc-daemon runs.
