Click Start type services.msc and click on it when it appears. Is PostgreSQL in the list? If so, can you start it?

Then you need to install PostgreSQL as explained in our guides here.

Uninstall PostgreSQL, create a new blank folder on the root of the C drive (call it C:\PostgreSQL or some such) and reinstall it there (you'll have to change the destination in the installer; it's on the first screen or two). That can often fix this problem.

BTW: Is that version 9.3 I see on your screenshot...? IIRC, that's not recommended. At least wasn't, maybe that has changed?

PostgreSQL 9.3 is not supported and will not work. Your best bet is to get the latest 9.0 (and if you have a 64 bit machine, the 64 bit version).
