Hi, there! :) I had a similiar problem the last weekend. It turned that while I was selecting deselecting packages in setup.exe I have deselected the bash package, so bash wasn't installed at all. First check this, if this is not the case start a command prompt go the the "bin" subdirectory of the directory where you've installed cygwin and type bash.exe --login -i. See what happens and report back.
Alternatively you can share the output of the cygcheck utility with us.
