Issariayakul, this problem has been reported by me and is already addressed by Tom in NS-2.35 RC, as you can see in the NS-2 roadmap:
http://nsnam.isi.edu/nsnam/index.php/Roadmap You can use NS-2.33, NS-2.34 in Cygwin 1.5.25 (legacy-setup.exe), but to install It in Windows 7, you must use "compatible mode (as win95)". After the setup, recreate the icon in start menu (the original icon won't work), or use the cygwin.bat directly.
