The earliest version of PostgreSQL supported on Windows is 8.2.  You
should be running a recent version of any release -- the 8.0 major
release is up to a 8.0.24 bug patch release, which fixes many
security and data-eating issues.

Why would that do that, instead of a supported version?  I would
suggest contacting them to see whether their software works with
something supported and patched to a recent revision.
