When I go to "C:\ms4w\apps\pgsql75win\bin" in the command line, and run 
"postgres --version", I get the following...

"postgres (PostgreSQL) 7.5devel"

ok -- first you reported the version # of the client, not the back end.  let's 
hope they are different.  you are running an early development build of 
postgres 8.0 -- I know this because about 3/4 the way through the development 
cycle the version # changed from 7.5 to 8.0.  This is essentially a completely 
unpactched, riddled with known bugs, alpha build. Prevailing wisdom is that the 
earliest good build to use on windows is 8.2 or maybe 8.3.

Right now 100% of your energy should be devoted to double checking the version# 
against the backend (postgres -- version) and, if it is also
7.5 devel, capturing a good backup if you don't have one already and upgrading 
ASAP.
