You can find that file in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\data\ although you may have a different PostgreSQL version (e.g. 16) or have it installed in C:\Program Files (x86). Once it's deleted, reboot and try starting PokerTracker 4 again. If that does not help then click your Windows Start button then type the following command:
services.msc
and click on it when it appears. Do you see the PostgreSQL service in the list? Is it started, or can you start it? What is its 'Status' and 'Startup Type'?
so sorry, i am on a Mac
thanks so much for the help
just searched postmaster, found this
