What windows login account are you using? Probably use the 
Postgres login account.

  Hi 

  I am 
  unable to start Postgres on Windows XP machine using following 
  command:

  pg_ctl 
  start -D "D:\Platform\DevEnv\PostgreSQL\8.2\data\"

  The 
  error message displayed is:

  pg_ctl: another server might be running; trying to start server 
  anyway
2007-12-11 14:42:31 PANIC:  could not open control file 
  "global/pg_control": Permission denied

  Any 
  pointers how can I start the Postgres using pg_ctl. I am able to control the 
  lifecycle of Postgres using Window services "net start". However, I would like 
  to use pg_ctl/ postgres to control the lifecycle states.
