This may be due to the fact that you don't have the cygwin dll in your
PATH when you use the native version of LyX (I am assuming that you have
the cygwin version of xfig).
Try adding C:\cygwin\bin (this one should match the output you get when
issuing the command "cygpath -w /bin") to "PATH prefix" in Tools>Preferences
and see if that works.
