Hi Rao, Your message is moderated because you are not subscribed to the help-emacs-windows list.
I don't think you can get much effective help here with a Cygwin installation. You would probably do better to inquire with the Cygwin folks. If you do want help from help-emacs-windows, then I suggest that you first install what might be called the stand-alone version of emacs for Windows: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-en/EmacsW32 If that does not work for you, then describe your symptoms, and the folks here can help you. You can also make the EmacsW32 version work with Cygwin. Meanwhile, I am going to delete your message from the server. Regards, David V.
