Well, someone (apparently not you) installed Cygwin, or a program which uses a cut down Cygwin install to function. What is the full path to Cygwin1.dll? If it is in Windows/System(32) or the equivalent, look in the registry at: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/ (NB: the value name is a single forward slash.), and the corresponding path in HKCU. The value of that will provide a hint.
