I 've already uninstalled Cygwin and the old version of Lilypond to try to
prevent conflict problems. Double clicking to generate PDFs or right
clicking and selecting 'open' does the same thing. Is there another way of
opening them?

Where's the command line and what's the Lilypond shortcut on the desktop?
I'm not computer literate - apologies.
