What does:

c:\cygwin\bin\cygcheck c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe

show?  It will probably show that you're missing some basic dlls
which, for some reason, will need to be (re)installed.

You can find the packages which hold the missing dlls by going to
http://cygwin.com/packages/ and searching for them.  Once found use
the setup.exe reinstall option to install them if setup thinks they
are already installed.
