This is not a postgresql issue, but one with your winsock. If you have
any firewall or antivirus software, try uninstalling it. (Just disabling
it may not be enough). also, see the specific question about this
problem on http://pginstaller.projects.postgresql.org/FAQ_windows.html
for tip on a tool that might help you to determine what is wrong.
