Recovering after updating while cygwin was running


I'm running windows XP. I accidently updated something (and probably cygwin1.dll too, I only tried to install another package..) while cygwin bash was running. Afterwards I couldn't run any cygwin application. I removed cygwin folder, registry keys, and any copy of cygwin1.dll I had on the hard drive, and reinstalled from scratch. And still, every app I try to run gives me something like:
" 7 [main] ? (3556) C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - system shared
memory version mismatch detected - 0x75BE0074/0x75BE0096.
This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL.
Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility
and delete all but the most recent version. The most recent version *should*
reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have
installed the cygwin distribution. Rebooting is also suggested if you
are unable to find another cygwin DLL."


I repeated it several times with rebooting, and still I can't run anything. (Including cygcheck, pardon.)

Could you please help me?
Thanks,
Ido
