-1 make sure the secondary logon is running on your computer: The secondary logon service is a standard windows service which is available on every windows computer. In the latest versions it is not started automatically. You need to start it via control panel > administrative tools > services. Starting it once should insure it works in the future also.

-2 manually install PostgreSQL with the 8.4.7 installer from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database (http://www.postgresql.org)
Which error do you get during installation using that installer?

a> if it doesn't accept postgrespass as password, delete the postgres user first. click on Start and go to Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt
* If you are on Vista, rightclick and choose "Run as Administrator".

A black box should appear. Type 'net user postgres /delete' (without the quotes) and press enter.
The user is now deleted and you can (re)install PostgreSQL.

b> if the installer gives an error at the very end:
make sure User Account Control on your computer is turned off and reboot
or try an older version of PostgreSQL. For example 8.2.x will ALWAYS run.
