Thanks that was it.
Had installed an AVR programming environment that used cygwin.
C:\WinAVR\bin;C:\WinAVR\utils\bin;
Note that I wasable to re-install version 8.0.4 of postgres without
having to remove the references to WinAVR from the environment
variables.
thanks again

See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_windows.html, question 3.1.
Your problem is most likely with a broken DLL file in the system path,
usually from cygwin.
