OK.  Without the output of 'cygcheck -s -r -v', which is one of the things
<http://cygwin.com/problems.html> requests, there's not allot of data to 
go on here.  Dave's right.  You'll need to do a little local debugging.
Sounds like you downloaded, installed, and are running as the same user,
so there's not an obvious mismatch there.  You need to check if 
'c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat' exists and has the right permissions like Dave
suggests.  That's the best advice I can give with the information I have.

Any reason you didn't just "Install from Internet"?
