Is PostgreSQL installed on the machine? Please check to make sure it's listed in Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs section.

yes post gre is installed on the machine , maybe the programm doesnt work because of the new windows update

Click Start --> Run ... and type in services.msc and hit enter. Locate the PostgreSQL service from the list and click on it then click Start Service. Does it give an error when starting or does it start successfully?

I have the same problem.

When I click start the service I get an error message which is
Error: The service did not start due to a logon failure

Did you have PostgreSQL running OK before?
Have you changed anything else? e.g. a firewall? Check our Firewall Guide anyway as that can often cause connection issues.

You didn't delete the 'postgres' user from Windows, did you?
Are you logged into Windows with an administrator account?
What version of Windows do you have?

I had problems with pokertracker and tried to delete the Postgres file planning to re install it but it has not gone completely from my computer??
I do not know if I am an administrator?
I am running Windows Vista
