Actually, you didn't attach any log file.

I would recommend starting a command prompt window and running 'cygwin.bat'
from there.  You obviously have a configuration problem (did you reboot when
you were asked to?) but you're not going to get allot of insight without
seeing the messages output.  Running 'cygwin.bat' from the command prompt
will give you that information.  I also suggest you read and follow the
problem reporting guidelines found at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>,
particularly if you need to follow-up on this issue with the list.  Pay
particular attention to the bit about *attaching* cygcheck output.
