Hi,
Go to Start->run -> type cmd <press enter>
say you get the c: prompt then type
C:\blah\blah> psql -U postgres template1
above assumes psql is in PATH. if it succeeds
you shall get a psql prompt.
once you get the prompt , follow the instructions in text book
to create new database , users etc.
regds
mallah.
