I don't have Vista right now so I can't try it.  Be that as it may, I'd
recommend reading and following the problem reporting guidelines found
here:

<http://cygwin.com/problems.html>

Some bootstrap info may allow others on the list to spot a problem. I also
highly recommend allowing the configuration script to create a new local
account for you.  In addition, start first with a test to see if
you can connect with password authentication.  Public key is more
complicated so it's best to make sure things are basically working before
getting into the nitty-gritty issues of public key authentication.
