The following works for me (just tested) on Windows XP SP3:

#+begin_src dot :file foo.png :cmdline -Tpng
digraph G {
  a -> b [label="hello", style=dashed];
  a -> c [label="world"];
  c -> d; b -> c; d -> a;
  b [shape=Mdiamond, label="this is b"];
  c [shape=polygon, sides=5, peripheries=3];
  d [style=bold];
}
#+end_src

Could you maybe provide an ECM of what you were trying to use?

Best regards,
  Seb
