More than likely you'll need to go through the Cygwin install again.
Don't worry:  It'll just download those things that you didn't get
the first time around.  It appears that Cygwin sometimes quits in
the middle of doing things and doesn't inform you of that fact.

Just try it again until the network install of Cygwin doesn't
download any more packages.

Can you click on the Green/Black Cygwin icon and get a BASH shell
prompt?

Running the "startxwin.fvwm2.bat" file is the old method now by the
way.  The current method listed in the latest README.win32 file.
You can read the latest at http://www.xastir.org or by typing "cvs
update" and then "less README.win32" from the
/home/<user>/src/xastir directory under Cygwin.
