Thanks Carlo Florendo y Flora and Igor Pechtchanski for your very illustrative comments. Based on that IIf you check the the most recent posts on the postgresql mailing list archive (pgsql-cygwin), a similar problem has been posted but a solution has not yet been proposed.
follow the procedure again for install PostgreSQL in
my Window ME. Now I can run Cygserver but The
initialization of PostgreSQL failled. See the output I
got:

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

---------------------------------------
Really I don't know what does meant the line "FATAL: shmat(id=1179648) failed: Invalid argument".
However, it says that there could be a need to modify the cygserver.conf file.
shmat has something to do with shared memory. Thus, try disabling shared memory on cygserver.conf. Look for the line which says:
#kern.srv.sharedmem yes
Uncomment it and change the yes to no. Restart cygserver, remove the contents of /usr/share/postgresql/data and run initdb. Let's see what happens.
Thanks!
