Yes, I do mean from the cygwin site. If I click on "install now" and I have a copy on my laptop, there is a brief pause and then the cursor blinks again. Then there's a duplicate copy of "setup.exe" on my desktop (which gets named setup2.exe). I can't get it to even give me the window that asks if I want to install from the internet or the other options unless I delete everything and reboot. I am familiar with the list of usual questions it asks when it's doing an install, as I've done it multiple times now. But as I said, it wont give me those options on my laptop as long as there's a copy there.
The output of cygcheck -svc that I sent was from the laptop. Thanks for the tip about the cygwin icon in the upper left of the window and the explanation about the NT family of OS. I didn't know it would expand if I clicked on it. That works fine.
