I suggest:
* Remove everything within D:\cygwin except home, and usr/local if you have
anything you want in there
* Don't bother about purging the registry again.
* Use setup to reinstall

Hopefully after that all will be well.
It's a nuisance having to select all the packages you want again in setup,
but remember you can just install Base + your immediate needs, and add other
stuff as needed.

Max.
