if you can connect to the database, there is something running. Either
the database not as a service, or something else.

So, propably your service fails to start because the port 5432
(propably the default) is still in use.

you should fire up eventvwr and check the application log. There you
may find more about the reason why you cannot start your service.

Also have a look at $PGDATA/pg_log (default below
PostgreSQL/8.3/data), if anything is written there.

best wishes
