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'.

Oh dear, I did as you told me, but nothing has changed. :cry:

Do you have PostgreSQL installed on your computer? When you downloaded PT3, did you download the version WITH PostgreSQL or WITHOUT? If you downloaded the version WITH, did PT3 install PostgreSQL for you?

I installed it without sql, because it was just an update.
It worked for 80K hands now and I didnt change anything.

Ok, it was a problem with my firewall, although I dont know why. I deleted all my firewall settings and gave new rights to PT3, now it seems to work. Thanks a lot guys. Sorry for wasting your time.
