Brian, 

I have uninstall OpenSSH and every software that was
including cygwin1.dll (WinBoard, ...), and I obtain
the same message when I try to launch cygwin. 
Pardon my insistance, I'm not familiar to the dll
mechanism, and I understand that the name in the
shared memory af a DLL instance does not correspond to
the dll filename, but if I rename a .dll file, how can
it be loaded again ?
Furthermore, I have, right now, just one and only one
cygwin1.dll, and it is the original one from the
latest release. So maybe another program has loaded
this dll from a totally different filename. Is there a
way to know which dll is loaded in memory and which
filename or program it is loaded from ?

I don't mean to bother, just trying to understand and
fix the problem as cygwin is a great tool and would
help me in what I'm doing.

Thx.
PS: attached my latest cygcheck output.
