I fixed the problem by installing into another directory other than C:\cygwin. I have no idea why this fixes the problem, but probably it has something to do with security packages installed on the computer (it's a new work laptop which appears to have several security related programs installed on it by corporate IT).

I have recently installed Cygwin version 2.510.2.2 onto a Windows XP system and when I launch it the first thing I see is this:
5 [main] bash 3024 fork: child -1 - CreateProcessA failed, errno 13
bash: fork: Permission denied
I get the same message when I try running the ls command:
bash-3.2$ ls
9404505 [main] bash 1544 fork: child -1 - CreateProcessA failed, errno 13
bash: fork: Permission denied
Can someone suggest what's going wrong, and how I can fix it?
Thanks in advance for any help.
