unable to login to database

[Jworm8]

I shutdown my computer last night forgetting to close PT3 first and now I get the following message when opening PT3:

Unable to login to database (PT3 DB). Reason: server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server termindated abnormally before or while processing the request.

Can you please help me fix this problem.

This means that postgres isn't running.
Please try starting the postgres service: Start -> Programs -> PostgreSQL -> Start Service.
If that, and a reboot doesn't work, try stopping the service (Start -> Programs -> Postgres -> Stop Service), running a search on your computer for postmaster.pid and then deleting that file, then restarting the service and see if that helps.
Note that you may need to turn on 'View hidden files and folders', and the file seems to be in the folder './Program Files/postgresql//data'.
