Leonid,
It is strange but after I gave postmaster.exe process access to the Internet
> (changed my personal firewall settings), PostgreSQL service starts OK. Why

> PostgreSQL / postmaster.exe do not need to connect to the Internet. But
communication is done via TCP/IP; and PostgreSQL needs to open Port 5432
(standard) and listen for requests. So when your firewall forbids PostgreSQL
to listen on Port 5433 for incoming requests, it may commit suicide, because
it cannot do any usefull work anymore.
Best wishes,
Harald
