First, you shouldn't be considering the user of PostgreSQL version 8.0;
starting with the release of PostgreSQL 8.3, versions 8.0 and 8.1 are no
longer officially supported on Microsoft Windows of any version, flavor
or variant.[0]

Additionally, according to [1] the oldest release series that still has
support is 8.3, which will continue to be supported for only about the
next 11 months. You should be using 8.3 at a minimum, and unless there
are really good reasons to do otherwise, you should probably use the
most recent release series, 9.1, which was first released in September
of 2011.
