I already reinstall old version of PostgreSQL. However I still cannot
run PostgreSQL service after I reinstall on many time. I think that I
cannot use pg_dump or all command without PostgreSQL service running. So
What thing I can do now?

PostgreSQL does not work like that. You should have backed up using
pg_dump before uninstalling. File system backup won't work across
catalog versions. In fact, your best bet is probably to reinstall the
old version so you can start the server and run pg_dump.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to
majordomo@postgresql.org)
