Please read and follow <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>, especially the
bit about attaching (as an uncompressed text *attachment*) the output of
"cygcheck -svr" on your system.  Another place to check for service errors
is the Windows Event log.

This doesn't quite parse.  Do you mean to say that when you run "vi
/etc/exports", you're getting a new file, and when you do "cd /etc && vi
exports", vi opens the existing one?

This is expected behavior.  There is no gvim under Cygwin.  This means
that gvim is a Windows program, and won't understand Cygwin mounts.

Which exact instructions?  The ones in the README?

Having administrative privileges does help in setting up services.
However, there should be no need to reinstall -- you can simply add your
user to the Administrators group temporarily to see if this is the
problem.

See <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_2.html#SEC19> for instructions on how to
uninstall Cygwin completely.
