1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
2) run the command - start > programs > accessories > command prompt > right-click > run as administrator

net user postgres /delete
4) reboot.
5) Install PostgreSQL 8.3.9 from this link - http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/Postgres_8.3.9-v1.0.7.exe

I had this problem with my brand new computer loaded with Win7. I tried everything but nothing worked. I even decided to reimage my computer several times to try everything from scratch.

Once, I decided to reimage my comptuer and DID NOT UPDATE Windows.
Proceeded to install PostgreSQL over the out of date windows 7 and Eureka!. it was working.

At that point I created a new image (just in case), and after that I proceeded to update windows.

... after a 4 monthg it has not failed (yet)

I can not explain why, but this is the way I fixed it.

Follow step 1 and 2 and Please try this version PostgreSQL: Choose a Mirror (http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp/binary/v8.2.13/win32/postgresql-8.2.13-1.zip) and see if the problem persists

When your installing that, at some point it will ask for a domain name, leave this blank and it shouldnt give this message

You do not want to 'update' postgresql, ever. Just use the version that is installed and working properly. The only way to 'upgrade' postgresql is to completely uninstall the old version and install a newer version, but you already had issues with that.
