Just a few questions:
What did your initdb command look like
What version of postgres are you using
What windows version are you using (2005 isn't a windows version)
Did it work in the past
Have you read the manual about pg_hba.conf
What do the logs says when starting the database.
Is it running as a commandline or as a service
What are the starup paramaters.
Have you edited postgresql.conf

HTH
