Was the previous installation of Postgres also 8.2? If not - if it was an earlier version - I'd put the old version back, point it at the data directory, then use pg_dump to export the data if you want to upgrade at that point.
I meant to add that you can get Win32 versions back as far as 8.0 on the PostgreSQL home page (http://www.postgresql.org/) - top right of the page - click on the "Binary" link beside the version number.
To check the version number of your data files, look in the PG_VERSION file.
