I had a similar problem once. For some reason, after I installed a windows service pack update, my Postgresql
directorywas altered to be READ-ONLY. Once this happened, postgresql wan't able to start.
After spending a quited a bit of time to dicover the cause of the problem, I simply had to reset the directoy to be
write-able.
I hope this helps.
