A few hints:

1. When you issue the cvs co command you should be in a directory
where there does not already exist a folder by the same name as the
module you want to check out. This means you cannot check out the
files from the repository back to the same folder you imported from.
At the very least you must renmame that folder first.

2. I was asking for the directory listing because I was curious about
the contents of the repository. There should be a bunch of files with
the same names as in your project folder (the one you imported from)
but with the extension ',v' tacked on the end. Is this the case? If
not then the import failed and so there is nothing to check out.

3. Have you looked for the checked out files using Windows Explorer or
are you just looking in WinCvs. If the latter is the case then you are
probably using a filter in WinCvs that does not show the unmodified
files. Make sure to disable all filters by clicking the speedbuttons
until they are NOT depressed.
And you should verify the checkout using Windows Explorer. I bet you
can see the files there.
