Bharti, I remember fixing a bug about 3 years ago that caused avrdude not to work with port numbers 10 and higher. Is it possible that you have a really old version of TinyOS installed?
A possible quick fix: Try setting the port number to something under 10. Go to device manager, double click USB Serial Port (COM12), go the the port settings tab, click Advanced, set the new port number and click OK. If this does not work, try reinstalling cygwin and TinyOS as described in http://docs.tinyos.net/tinywiki/index.php/Getting_started .
