Now it says:
"A connection to PostGreSQL could not be made. Would you like to have Holdem Manager attempt to start the service?"

What OS, Firewall, and anti-virus? Which postgresql installer did you use?
"Connection error: Backend sent unrecognized responde type:..."
That is a new one for me.
First try to reboot. If that doesnt help delete the \postgresql\8.x\data\postmaster.pid file, if you see it.
If no help, try this:
Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Stop Service
Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Start Service
Add exceptions to the windows firewall, even if it is off. If you have a 3rd party firewall, do the equivalent or uninstall it temporarily - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=171
Under Vista and Windows 7 make sure UAC is disabled http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmmain.aspx?faqid=73 or else you must set \holdem manager\dbcontrolpanel.exe, holdemmanager.exe and hmhud.exe are started as administrator. Run the windows explorer and navigate to your Holdemmanager installation directory. Right click the executables and select "Run as admin" from the compatibility tab. Windows 7 you MUST set all the executables to always run as admin.
If none of that helps I recommend you reinstall postgresql usign our new installer - http://forums.holdemmanager.com/showthread.php?t=20755
