I think it's time to read and follow the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at . It would also help to have a copy of the file that makes LaTeX "freeze" (and would help even more if you could reduce it to a minimal example that still reproduces the problem). Also, are you sure LaTeX actually freezes? If it's a first run, sometimes LaTeX needs to make some font files used in your documents (in different sizes, etc), and that takes a lot of CPU and may look like the rest of the window is frozen. Have you looked at the LaTeX log?
