Perhaps something in your startup scripts is taking this time. Open a dos
shell (start->run->"cmd"), cd to c:\cygwin\bin or whereever your install
lives, run "bash --login -i -x". The '-x' will make it print out all the
commands it's running during startup; hopefully you can narrow down the
problem to one particular item.
Also, please run "cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out" and send the
cygcheck.out file ***as an attachment please*** with your next post.
cheers,
