[1.5.25-7] bash: fork Permission denied

Hello,
I have been trying to install cygwin for the last couple of days with no 
success.
I have installed the very basic stuff (Base + whatever else is required 
for a working installation).
Once setup finishes I launch Cygwin; this is the output I get:

-----
Copying skeleton files.
These files are for the user to personalise
their cygwin experience.

These will never be overwritten.

     10 [main] bash 672 fork: child -1 - CreateProcessA failed, errno 13
bash: fork: Permission denied

bash-3.2$ exit
     10 [main] bash 4212 fork: child -1 - CreateProcessA failed, errno 13
bash: fork: Permission denied
bash-3.2$
----

I've tried to install in other directories with no success.
I had a working installation of cygwin before and tried reinstalling it 
after it stopped working for a reason that is still unknown to me (I 
suspect windows update, but I'm not sure...)

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Jamil

Here is my cygcheck output:
