Getting to prompt with GitBash in Windows 7

Question

I have downloaded and installed Git for windows from this Google code page and have followed this excellent tutorial to install Git on my Windows 7 machine. I have also correctly established my SSH keys and have linked them to my Github account. I can successfully clone repositories using Gitbash which verifies my keys are set up correctly. However, when running Git Bash from the start menu, I get a blinking cursor and can't see the prompt.

Thanks in advance for your help.

P.S. First question ever on stackoverflow :) Sorry for any mistakes.

Just released from the github team is github for windows. I think this will get you closer to having a git and windows working together.
