I having an issue with my postgres database installed on a windows xp. For some reason, I can no longer start the postgres service through pgadmin or the services window. I get the following error:
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
Any ideas ?

When you attempt to restart, notice any error logs in the pg-log directory. Any information there will give a clue.
On a related note, I had this experience once with Pg 8.2 and Windows 2K. For some reason, the Postgres working directory was set to be read-only. I have no idea how this happened - perhaps it was the anti-virus software or a rogue admin. But once I reset the directory it worked.
