I got this error when I try to install postgresql on windowx XP

i am using the installer version which is from:

ftp://ftp5.us.postgresql.org/pub/PostgreSQL/binary/v8.1.3/win32/postgresql-8.1.3-1.zip <ftp://ftp5.us.postgresql.org/pub/PostgreSQL/binary/v8.1.3/win32/postgresql-8.1.3-1.zip>

The user account that the service is created by the installer. I just wonder why it cannot start the service with that account(postgres)

any hits are appreciated

Jeff

What user account are you logged in with? postgres the user must be allowed to logon as a service. That might be a good place to start looking.
