I hope as a completely new user to Cygwin that you avail yourself of resources at the Cygwin web site such as the FAQ, user guide, and email archives. There's allot of information in these areas and they contain many of the answers to typical questions, though sometimes it takes a minute or two to ferret them out. ;-)
For your question, I'm going to point you at <www.cygwin.com/packages>. Type in "user32" and see the packages that contain files with this string. Try installing the latest binary package listed there. That should solve your problem. In general, this is a very good way to find out what package a file that you're missing is in (see <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_2.html#SEC13>). If this doesn't solve your current problem, refer to <www.cygwin.con/bugs.html>. This will explain the bits and bytes of tracking problems and reporting them to the list.
