Cron does not start - Hangs "Starting"

Hello,

I am trying to get cron to work reliably on my pc (runs Windows XP). When I
type
      cygrunsrv -S cron
I get an error message that the service did not respond in a timely fashion.
Looking under services from Control Panel, cron status is listed as 
"Starting".
I cannot stop it by using cygrunsrv either. cron was installed using 
cron-config.
Output of cygcheck -srv is enclosed. /var/log/cron.log has no messages.

Thx
Arun
