Propblem gets clearer. I had similiar symptoms before; so my rough guess is: your postgres user did loose a privilege. Technical background: the postgres-account is a low privileged user, which logs on automatically when the service starts up. So he needs the privilege "log on as service" And I think that your postgres account loosed that privilege. So I recommend to try the following steps: a) startup the Editor of user accounts (within control panel) b) change the password of the postgres user account to something you know c) restart services.msc, and open the Properties of the Postgres Services d) go to the logon page, and enter the new password you just gave to this account (step b) e) try to start the service again from the service control panel With entering the logon information again to the "logon-tab" of the service properties dialog, you are re-giving that privilege.
I'm pretty sure that simply going into properties of the service and clicking ok will (re)grant the log on as service right. merlin
