Please help! Postgres stopped working after restarting computer!

Here is the general info:

Bug reference:      4172

PostgreSQL version: 8.3.1
Operating system:   windows xp
Description:        postgres stops working after
restart
Details: 

I installed 8.3.1 fine and the service starts and
works fine. However,after
I restart the computer and opens up pgAdmin3.exe and
try to start the
service again i get error message:
"Failed to start server pgsql-8.3:Errcode=1069. Check
event log for
details."

The log folder doesn't show any error problems. When I
run the psql.exeon
the command line i get:
"psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused(0x0000274D/10061)       Is the server running on host "???" and
accepting       TCP/IP connections on port 5432? "
I checked using netstat -an and 5432 is not even
listed being in
use/listening. I also tried changing the port in
pgadmin to somethingelse
like 5050  but same error.

Right now the only "fix" i can come up with is to
uninstall andreinstall...


is there a fix to this problem? thanks!
