Try this:

* Move your c:\cygwin directory to a safe place
* Install Cygwin in c:\cygwin (the default directory)
* Copy the contents of your backed-up cygwin over the contents of the new one

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even 
though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who 
neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight 
that knows not victory nor defeat."
(Theodore Roosevelt)
