I have included some sections for the log, below. The last warning message was: Service 'PostgreSQL Database Server 8.3' (pgsql-8.3) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. Since I can use a variety of system applications that start/stop enable/automate/manual any of the system services so I don't think it is a rights issue.
