Assuming (...) that you are calling http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C 
:\mapdata\cities.map&mode=browse (or something like that) I would  
guess it means that it can't access the file... so check that:

the file is where it is meant to be, and
that the permissions on the folder will allow the webserver to access  
it.

I'm not sure what the ms4w layout is, but try moving the mapfile into  
the htdocs directory if there are permissions problems. you will need  
to supply a little more information if you want a little more help.

good luck..

Ben
