He encontrado una solución para este problema recalcitrante. A mí nunca me funcionó, pese a que hacía lo que hay que hacer (desinstalar postgres y elephant, borrar las carpetas, borrar los usuarios, etc). Lo encontré en un hilo de la comunidad inglesa: https://www.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=24647
Esto es lo que hay que hacer siempre, y que a mí nunca me funcionó:

I had the same problem when I tried to install PokerStrategy Elephant. Now i will show you how i fixed the problem.
First step: Uninstall PostgreSQL
> 1. Open Start menu > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs and uninstall PostgreSQL
> 2. Open C:\Program Files\ and delete PostgreSQL folder
> 3. Open C:\Documents and Settings\ and delete the user created by PostgresSQL - "postgres" by default
> 4. Delete postgresql from Application data
- If your menu is classic path will be Start menu > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs
- If you can't find how to delete the user created by PostgreSQL write C:\Documents and Settings\ in your browser or My Computer there are "All users" "Your computer name" and "postgresql" - by default
- If you can't find Application data write C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR COMPUTER NAME\Application Data in your browser or My Computer
Second step: Install PostgreSQL
> 1. Open C:\Program Files\PokerStrategy\PokerStrategy Elephant and find postgresql-8.3 (not postgresql-8.3-int) or directly write C:\Program Files\PokerStrategy\PokerStrategy Elephant\postgresql-8.3.msi in My Computer/Your browser.
> 2. Choose English > Start > Next > Next > Next
> 3. Service configuration:
- Service name: PostgreSQL Database Server 8.3
- Accout name: postgress (make it different from postgres with one s)
- Account domain: Leave account name like is by default ( account domain = your computer name )
- Choose account password and verify it then click Next
> 4. Click yes to create the new account who will be used from elephant.
> 5. In initialise database cluster change superuser name from postgres to postgress, write your password and then click Next and Finish
Third step: Enter your new username
Here you only have to write your new username "postgress" and your password
If you see "Database was successfully created and is ready for usage" everything might be okay.
If this works for you leave a comment and sorry for my bad english
If you still have problems feel free to contact me in skype: stanimirmihov
Y ésta es la solución adicional para cuando nada de eso sirve, en el caso de Vista y Siete: añadir el localhost a mano en el archivo de configuración.

Went through this nice guide. But I got still the 127.0.0.1 error. I run Vista by the way.
After some hours of trial & error, I found a solution at the HM forum, and it worked!
Here it is:
- go to "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc" and open the hosts file with notepad.
- At the bottom of the file, add the following line (without the quotes): "127.0.0.1 localhost"
- Save the file, exit and restart your pc.*
*If you cannot save it to that location, first save it to the desktop, then right-click on it and change the name to only "hosts" (so remove the .txt extension). Then copy&recplace it to the drivers\etc map
After this little work, my database is working perfect
Y así, tras tres años de penar en el medievo del poker, ya puedo utilizar estadísticas.
