Start a command prompt from windows and run 'cygwin.bat' in it.  This
will give you some output that should help and keep it on the screen
long enough for you to read it and frame it. ;-)  If you're still having
problems figuring out what to do, please read and follow the problem
reporting guidelines found here:

My WAG is the installation isn't quite right/complete.  If this is true,
try running through 'setup.exe' again without selecting any new packages
and see if that helps.
