See the README:

    http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/postgresql/postgresql-7.3.3.README

Specifically, the following:

    3. Grant the "postgres" user the "Log on as a service" user right:

        # cmd /c secpol.msc # [3] [4] [5] [12]

    rights -- use ntrights instead.  This tool is available from the
    Windows 2000 Resource Kit or
