Never did.

Fortunately, The Auto-Vacuum Daemon monitors table activity and performs
VACUUMs when necessary. This eliminates the need for administrators to worry
about disk space recovery in all but the most unusual cases.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/routine-vacuuming.html

It seems I am using old version.
Need I do something more than just reinstall binaries?
My current version:
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0\bin>postgres --version
postgres (PostgreSQL) 8.0.3

Thx for answer.
