I try using Win32 Gnu GPG 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 to do 'gpg --gen-key' using the default setting. The generation process rarely ever finish. Most of the time the generation process run and never finish.

Please select what kind of key you want:
(1) DSA and Elgamal (default)
(2) DSA (sign only)
(5) RSA (sign only)
Your selection?
DSA keypair will have 1024 bits.
ELG-E keys may be between 1024 and 4096 bits long.
What keysize do you want? (2048)
Requested keysize is 2048 bits
Please specify how long the key should be valid.
0 = key does not expire
<n> = key expires in n days
<n>w = key expires in n weeks
<n>m = key expires in n months
<n>y = key expires in n years
Key is valid for? (0)
Key does not expire at all
Is this correct? (y/N) yYou need a user ID to identify your key; the software constructs the user ID

We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number generator a better chance to gain enough entropy. .++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.+++++.+++++.++++++++++.+++++++++++++++++++++++++ ....+++++.++++++++++..+++++.....................>+++++...................................+++++

The output stop here and never continue. I tried using the disk, keyboard, mouse.
I can't make gpg to finish generating keys.
I happen to have cygwin and cygwin version of gpg works.
Are there anything wrong with the Win32 version of GPG? or my setting?
