OK then. Assuming you're still interested in someone here trying to help you find your installation problem, you'll want to follow my previous suggestion that you provide the information requested by www.cygwin.com/bugs.html. Specifically, the output of cygcheck as described on this web page will help others get a better understanding of your installation.
