Hi,
Before anything I'm very sorry for sending that "RTFM" style question about
pg_autovacuum. I found it, but I couldn't try it out...

I faced a problem starting the postgres service.
After installation everything had gone well until I started
pg_autovacuum.exe. I do not think that something is wrong with pg_autovacuum
but the fact is that that was the point Postgres stopped starting.

I restarted the comupter but nothing changed. I unregistered the service and
reregistered. No success.

After that I switched user to postgres on my XP box and started the server
successfuly from the commanline (pg_ctl start -d "..."). Oh luck - I
immediatelly dumped out everything. So the problem is something around the
usernames or the priviliges.

Where do I search the problem? What could go wrong? And how??? Is it
possible that pg_vacuum sets any priviliges silently?? Don't think so.

Many thanks
