The mmc "Event viewer" under the label System should give you more
information about the offending service. If you installed cygwin and
then created the user cyg_server, then you should check if it's
available in /etc/passwd (most probably it's there). Can you start the
process by issuing the command '/usr/sbin/sshd'?, the problem with
/var/empty is because of this
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-02/msg00437.html, you need to change
permissions to all those folders.
Also, you don't need to reinstall sshd at every attempt, you may use
"cygrunsrv --remove sshd"
