Before we go on, <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PCYMTNQREAIYR>.  Thanks.

Ok, you have system mounts, so my guess was incorrect.  However, you've
provided some more helpful info -- see below.

All the above says is (using the equivalent message from the English
version of Windows, though the translation from Polish is similar enough):

"The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( httpd ) cannot be found.
The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or
message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be
able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help
and Support for details."

That just means that the application posted an event with the default id
of 0 without providing a way of decoding that id.  You can safely ignore
this part.

> Nastepujace informacje sa czescia zdarzenia: xinetd : PID 3680 :
> starting service `xinetd' failed: execv: 1, Operation not permitted."

This, however, says:

"The following information is part of the event: xinetd : PID 3680 :
starting service `xinetd' failed: execv: 1, Operation not permitted."

Which is the actual message from xinetd, and is *very* helpful.  This
basically says that the service manager couldn't execute the xinetd
program when running as SYSTEM.  Check the permissions on both
/usr/sbin/xinetd and /bin/cygwin1.dll (and whatever other DLLs the xinetd
program depends on -- see the output of "cygcheck /usr/sbin/xinetd.exe").
Make sure all of them are executable by SYSTEM.

See above.

This was part of the "cygcheck -svr" output, which is why we ask for it.
