How to install ?

Hi,
 
I am new to Postgres but very comfortable with MS-Access and MS-SQL...  I had previously also put up a mail onto the mailing list regarding installation...  I have been trying to get comfortable with PostgreSQL since quite some time now...  However, always failed...  I have read the whole of the documentation but so far as the installation on Windows is concerned... I am a big ZEROOOOOOOOOOOO....  
 
Anyone can help  with step-wise installation along with best configuration settings on a standard P III - 700 with 128 MB RAM?  Please dont just ask me to "just download Cygwin" and continue...  I tried that too but dont know what to do after that?
 
Secondly, I tried the "make..... " technique that is given in the PostgreSQL manual, which uses Visual C++ while compiling...  Is it possible to have some kind of an already prepared .exe which I can download.....  All help is greatly appreciated and REQUIRED, because I am just trying to establish myself as a little bit "different" in India, where people are using Access, MS-SQL or Oracle.
 
Thanx,
Kapil
