Is PostgreSQL still installed on your machine? You can see if it is by clicking Start, typing services.msc and clicking on it when it appears and searching for a PostgreSQL service in the list.

Ok, in that case you're going to need to install it. You can find the download link here - you'll want 9.0, and the 64 bit version if you have a 64 bit machine.

Click Start and type 'services.msc' and open the Services window.
Do you see PostgreSQL in the list?
Is it started? Can you start it?

Be sure to enter the same port and password in PT4 that you chose when you installed PostgreSQL.

You may also need to check our Firewall Guide as some security software will interfere with PostgreSQL.

Do you have a file called postmaster.pid located in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\data?
If so, delete it and try again.
