    Hello Peter,<br>
    <br>
    thanks for your hints ! Your information gave me the resolution. <br>
    <i>pg_clt start</i> gave me the information about a corrupted
    postmaster.pid (filesize was 1k, but empty).<br>
    So i installed 8.2.1 and copied the folder data backup without
    postmaster.pid.<br>
    And what a suprise, all works perfectly and my databases are back.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks for your assistance,<br>
    Josef Springer<br>

      Hello Josef,
      <br>
      <br>
      try to start it from command line (as user postgres!):
      <br>
      <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/app-pg-ctl.html">http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2...;
      <br>
      <br>
      As soon as you can start up the server successfully stop it again
      (in another command line window or by adding ' &amp;' (no quotes)
      at the end of the command).
      <br>
      <br>
      Then you can add a new service by using the pg_ctl option
      register.
      <br>
      <br>
      You can remove the old one by using 'sc delete':
      <br>
      <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/cc742045(v=ws.10).aspx">https://technet.microsoft...;
      <br>
      <br>
      Good luck,
      <br>
      <br>
      Peter
