I got PostgreSQL installed (finally!) but now I get a "connection actively denied" error. Anyone?

Did you install as a service?
If yes, look in task manager and see if there are several instances of postgres.exe running after rebooting. There are/should be 4 instances.
If it is not running try and start PostgreSQL Database Server xx.xx in services.msc and change start up type to auto.

I understand the first two paragraphs (and incidentally, there are no instances of postgres running), but you lost me on the last one. Where do I change this and how? thanks in advance
