Make sure that the account under which you've installed it (i.e your user account) has full Administrator priveledges on the machine - otherwise you won't be able to assign the "Log on as service" right to the postgres account - it might be worth checking if this is set anyway - run services.msc and have a browse for the local policy "Log on as a service". Your postgres service user should be added to it.

I got this error when I try to install postgresql on windowx XP

i am using the installer version which is from:

ftp://ftp5.us.postgresql.org/pub/PostgreSQL/binary/v8.1.3/win32/postgresql-8.1.3-1.zip

The user account that the service is created by the installer. I just wonder
why it cannot start the service with that account(postgres)

any hits are appreciated

the installation completes? if so, try to start the service by hand
and show the error (eventlog should have a description)
