In case anyone wants to know what was wrong... Somehow the postgresql
login
information got corrupted. After I reset that information, I started the
service through windows (versus postgresql) and it started up just fine.
Thank you for helping me out!

If I recall correctly, an XP update I ran not too long ago killed
remote access to PostgreSQL. A change had to be made to the built-in
firewall to allow access to port 5432. I don't have Windows 2003, but
maybe try searching the help documentation related to "firewall" and
related things.
