I looked at the pg_control file, postgres had the proper permission to it.

It seems that last night a windows service pack as added.  I noticed that the global directory was marked as
(grey-ed)read-only. I removed the read-only flag and postgres started up :-).  I restarted my antivirus and postgres is
stillworking. 

Is the global directory supposed to be marked read only?
