Kurt,
Note I do not have access to XP Home or Pro, so there is a limit to how
much I can help.
Any XP users successfully running PostgreSQL? If so, please post your
experiences to the list. I'm especially interested in XP Home, since I
assume that XP Pro will be the same as NT/2000.

Please see the following thread:

It may be helpful to you -- especially if you are using XP Home which is
uncharted territory.

What version of Cygwin are you using? An older version (IIRC, 1.3.13),
had issues with running ipc-daemon as a service. Please upgrade to the
latest Cygwin, if necessary.

The above implies that you are not using the latest Cygwin PostgreSQL,
please upgrade to the latest.

The above "typo" has been recently corrected:

Please read the README regarding what clean up is necessary when
switching the account under which ipc-daemon runs.
