That's an ancient version of PostgreSQL and is no longer supported on
Windows, but that's not what's causing your immediate problem.
However, I think you'll need to provide some more details to have any
chance of getting useful help. Looking at your postgresql.log file
would be a good place to start. See:

The earliest version of PostgreSQL supported on Windows is 8.2. You
should be running a recent version of any release -- the 8.0 major
release is up to a 8.0.24 bug patch release, which fixes many
security and data-eating issues.

Why would that do that, instead of a supported version? I would
suggest contacting them to see whether their software works with
something supported and patched to a recent revision.

See:
