IIRC under WinCVS you are running CVSNT
http://march-hare.com/cvsnt
http://www.wincvs.org/
this question may ultimately need to be asked on one of their mailing lists.

 If WinCVS or CVSNT spits out more than "***cvs exited normally with code 
1***" between starting the command and ending it, that information might have 
helped us.

In the meantime, it should be possible to run CVSNT from the command line and 
IIRC it takes at least all of the same options as CVS, so on the machine where 
you have ran WinCVS run:
`cvs -t checkout certain_module`

And as you probably only set your CVSROOT inside of WinCVS, you will need to 
copy that to the command line:
`cvs -d yourCVSROOT -t checkout certain_module`

This should give you a "trace of program execution" which may yield more clues.
