title: Cygwin terminal prompt missing
body: <p>Previously, when launching the Cygwin terminal, a console will popup and the line will say:
  <code>username@PCName ~</code> then a blinking cursor after <code>$</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Now a blank console appears and nothing is on the console screen but a blinking cursor...</p>
  
  <p>The shortcut seem to be directing to the right path "C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -" so I don't know what's going on. </p>
  
  <p>How do I go about fixing this issue? Do I have to look into the Environment variables? If so what do I have to look for? </p>
  
  <p>I'm running Windows XP Professional x86.</p>
