For a few more months cygwin is the only way to run postgres on windows.
In pg_hba.conf are any lines like the following not commented out?
# IPv6-style local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1::1 trust
Only use IPv4 style connections.
IPv6 is a newer version of tcp-ip.
Any time pg_hba.conf is changed the postmaster service must be
restarted.
