Please see

for the guidelines on reporting problems with Cygwin (especially the part
about attaching to your message, as an uncompressed text *attachment*, the
output of "cygcheck -svr").
Without the cygcheck output, I can take a couple of guesses about what
happened: either you didn't install the vim and emacs packages, or you
did, but are trying to invoke "vi/emacs" from a DOS (cmd.exe) window. If
the former, run setup.exe again and look in the Editors category. If the
latter, make sure "c:\cygwin\bin" is in your Windows PATH. Also, "vi" in
Cygwin is a symbolic link to an executable named "vim.exe", so you'll have
to invoke it as "vim".
