I can try the Cygwin time machine if you can suggest a version to try. Are
you saying, though, that the version of (X)Emacs that Cygwin installs is
incompatible with the version of X that is installed?
The Cygwin GNU emacs hasn't changed in a long time. Complaints of
crashes started recently, so likely something changed in one of
the dlls or related files that broke emacs.
I am running a version of 1.5.13 without any problems so something broke
around then or after then. Try a binary search for what broke when
using the time machine -- if you want to donate the time to this.
