Click Start, type services.msc and hit enter. In the window that appears, locate the PostgreSQL service and attempt to star tit. Does it start and remain started?

[Horuspoker7]

yes i have just tried that , it attempts to start but then fails. The services remains "STOPPED" in services.msc. I have also tried this many times, what could be wrong with the postgresSQL?
I even uninstalled then reinstalled postgres 8.3 which is the version im running!
Iget a popup box telling me the service postgres stopped automatically because no service was using it.

I also had a look at the pg_log file for errors and there is one below
