Janos,

A hint about how to diagnose this problem is to open a CMD.exe window an 
enter the command to launch BASH there so you can see the diagnostics 
(instead of having them displayed in a window that vanishes immediately).

If you have not modified the shortcut that Cygwin Setup adds to the 
Programs menu, it simply invokes the "cygwin.bat" file that's present in 
the top level Cygwin install directory (the Cygwin root).

If you have modified that shortcut, then just open its Properties window a 
use the command shown in the Target field of the Shortcut tab of that dialog.
