I had a similar problem once.  For some reason, after I installed a windows service pack update, my Postgresql
directorywas altered to be READ-ONLY.  Once this happened, postgresql wan't able to start. 

After spending a quited a bit of time to dicover the cause of the problem, I simply had to reset the directoy to be
write-able.

I hope this helps.
