Not necessarily.  It depends on how you "installed tried" it.  There are
2 radically different versions of cscope that can be built from the Cygwin 
environment.  One of them (the './configure' built one) is likely to 
behave as you describe, if you configured and built it for X11 support,
but don't have an X server running for it to use.

You have the manual (info gnuplot, or 'help gnuplot' from the running 
program --- your choice).  Read it.
