Thanks Igor. I already uninstalled crons and did this

cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
cygrunsrv -S cron

I put a simple script in there like this
51 * * * * /tmp/doit.sh
ran crontab `cat the above file`
crontab -l yields above
net stop cron
net start cron < i realize this may not be required, but I am trying everything before writing >
doit.sh is

#!/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
echo OK > /tmp/OK

at 52 minutes no /tmp/OK file

/var/log/cron.log just says cron started

How can I troubleshoot this ? I really need it to work or I have to write my program in f*cking vbscript, which I hate.
Thanks
