What are you using to attach to PostgreSQL? (e.g. psql.exe ? pgadmin III? Something else?)
What does your pg_hba.conf file look like?
I usually change mine so that the local host can attach:
# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 trust
When you look at your services, do you see the PostgreSQL service running?
