Starting PostgreSQL on WinXP is not working

Hi, i'm working with PostgreSQL for a long time (about
three years), but always on Linux box. But recently, I had to
intall PostgreSQL on a WinXP machine!
The installation works fine, although the starting service
did not works in the finalization of the installation! The
installation was done in a WinXP SP1 as a service!
My problem is that I installed with admin rights, but
created the user postgres for the system and user postgres
for the database. The user postgres for the system is
supposed to be used to start the service, but i think it is
not happening, the system tries to start the service with the
user that login in the system (the admin). If I trie to start
the service with a user without admin privileges it gives me
this error:

2005-06-08 15:14:07 NOTICE: Unknown win32 socket error code: 10106
2005-06-08 15:14:07 LOG: could not create IPv4 socket:
Invalid argument
2005-06-08 15:14:07 WARNING: could not create listen socket
for "localhost"
2005-06-08 15:14:07 FATAL: no socket created for listening

I googled a lot and dind't find anything with this kind of
error. So, I really need some help!
Thanks a lot!!

10106 is "The requested service provider could not be loaded or
initialized.".

it looks like your TCP stack is broken somehow. I'd look into firewall
and antivirus software. Either it has some blocking functions that
returns weird results, or it's just broken in general.

Your Winsock stack is corrupted. You can try to sort it out by using a
program called "winsockxpfix".
