You can read about it here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/app-psql.html On the XP machine, open a command prompt and type.... [path to PG install dir]\bin\pgsql -U [username] [databasename] ...and see if you can connect to the database. If you can connect and run queries, then the DB server is running. If your app stack is connecting from a different machine, I'd then try connecting from that machine to see if there are any network issues that would prevent the connection.
