Good question.  Based on the information you've given so far, there's not
much concrete to go on.  My WAG is that the path causing the problem is
the one to 'cygserver'.  You won't see that from services.msc.  It's a
parameter to 'cygrunsrv.exe'.  I'd recommend checking that in the registry
or uninstalling and reinstalling to see if that clears up any "typos".  If
not, then look in the registry and make sure the service is pointing to
'cygserver' and that it can be found.
