This is almost certainly the "pid file does nto go away" issue. Manually re=
move the .pid file in the data directory, and start the service.

I beleive this bug is fixed in beta-2.=20

    Hi,

=09=20

    We've been using Postgres for about a year.  I recently installed the beta=
 8.0 Windows version on my XP laptop.  It worked fine for about a week, but=
 now the service will not start.=20

=09=20

    Here's the message I receive:

=09=20

=09

=09=20

=09=20

    Any ideas?

=09=20

I think we fixed that after beta2.

Oh, that might be so.
Then let me rephrase - it's fixed in the MSI installers released after
beta-2, because we waited for a couple of specific fixes before we made
those (that's why they were aclled beta2-dev1 etc, and not plain beta-2)
