Thank you Warren and David for your commentaries about my question. Well, I use Seismic Unix and have installed before in cygwin 32-bit without problems. I tried it a couple of days in my Cygwin 64-bit and it crashed or gave strange data outputs. This seismic unix also uses x11 programs, they did not worked properly either. Why? I have no clue. That's why I'll try cygwin32 now. I'll download everything again, so I can test this from a fresh installation.
Thank again for your answers,
Cheers,
Gery

If you used setup-x86_64.exe to do the downloading then that will have downloaded 64-bit packages only. If this is the case then you will have some more downloading to do to get the 32-bit packages. However, you don't have to do a full install - if you select only those packages you need during the installation process then that will reduce the amount you need to download.
But otherwise, you can install 32-bit and 64-bit Cygwin side-by-side, and from the same mirror.
Cheers,
Dave.
