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
<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

What user account are you logged in with? postgres the user must be
allowed to logon as a service. That might be a good place to start looking.
