For starters...

What does your $PGDATA/PG_VERSION file contain?
2. What does pg_ctl --version say?

If those 2 bits suggest a match, then have you gone from 32-64 bit or
crossing machine hw architectures?

Attached Error Message shows, that pgAdmin's pg_restore is not compatible with the version of pg_dump binary which you
haveused to take the backup 

Please let me know, How did you take the backup? and Please try with same version of pg_restore, which is of pg_dump.

To find the version of pg_dump and pg_restore, you can use following command:

pg_dump --version
pg_restore --version.

Thanks & Regards,
Vibhor.

Thank you for your quick reply.

Well I am using windows XP and I have PgAdmin III 1.12.2 installed. I used backup to take the backup of the database in UTF-8 format. MY pg_dump and pg_restore both header version are 9.0.3.

The target PC where I want to restore my database also has windows xp installed with postgresql Version 9.0.3-1   with the same header versions i.e. pg_dump and pg_restore both header version are 9.0.3. On the target PC, I create a database, give it an owner, select templete 1 (as my orginal database template is template1) and then I restore my original database from my original PC using the right click database restore option in pgadminIII
