You may have better luck, then, on the WinCVS list:
http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/cvsgui
 
My best guess, though, as to your problems, is that wincvs 
ships with cvsnt (http://www.cvsnt.org/) and not the more 
standard cygwin cvs. Cvsnt supports a few extra options; 
WinCVS may make use of those. Also, in a default install 
of cvsnt DOS line-endings will be used for metadata. In a 
default install of cygwin cvs UNIX line-endings will be 
used for the metadata. IIRC you cannot use both clients on 
one sandbox. (This means that if you were using the 
default cvsnt before I would expect cygwin's defaults to 
cause errors when used with your existing sandboxes.)
