Hello Josef,
open services (services.msc) and check which user the service has been
registered to ( default name is postgres ).
Is this really the VERY same user used for the old instance?
If not he has a different ID and has to be given the necessary file
permissions:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Running_%26_Installing_PostgreSQL_On_Native_Windows#What_filesystem_permissions_does_PostgreSQL_require.3F
The owner of the service should be a local user and not member of a domain.
And you should really check Windows' event log for the error messages
during service startup.
Good luck!

Hello Jan,
the Server-Service worked after reinstalling PostgreSQL correctly.
But after copying back the backup of the folder *data*, the
Server-Service does not work anymore.
What i did:
* Term the Server-Service
* Copying back the backup of the folder *data*
* Starting the Server-Service (whitch did not)
So, i assume copying back the folder *data* is not enought. Something is
missing from the backup ?
Do you have any tips for me, thanks,
Josef Springer

Look into the Windows event log for more info.
I guess you also recreated the Windows user postgres so that the file
privileges are wrong.
IIRC there's a batch file for setting the correct file privileges (
don't recall the name) within the PostgreSQL installation folder.
Beware - if you specify the wrong path you might not be able to start
Windows again!!!!
Good luck ...
