There's been some traffic on this list about similar-sounding problems.
You can look in the email archives for some discussion and solutions there.
If you're intent on getting some personal feedback, I'm going to suggest 
that you start by reading and complying with 
<http://cygwin.com/problems.html>.  This will give the base-line of 
information from which someone can assess your installation.
