I tried to modify the parameters of the .CONF file when the pgsql-8.1
service was running. The next time I started, it displayed error: "The
service did not listen to local host". (something like this).

So I copied the old DATA folder and un-installed PostgreSQL. I again
re-installed it and replace the new DATA folder with the old one. Both
previous and new are same versions and same settings were used during
installation.
