The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      4172
Logged by:          alex
Email address:      shaselai@yahoo.com
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.exe on
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 something else
like 5050  but same error.

Right now the only "fix" i can come up with is to uninstall and reinstall...
is there a fix to this problem? thanks!
