Hi Larry Thanks for answering ... but iīve already readed the dos and tried using the install steps .. I now used cygrunsrv -I cron -d "Cron" -p /usr/sbin/cron -a "-D" -1 /var/log/cron.log -2 /var/log/cron.log for service installation. It now works ... *strange* maybe the EventLog tells some more defusing informations than needed.

The problem? Looks like the same old one to me. You're not running cron as SYSTEM. It seems many folks don't follow directions and don't check the email archives when they have a problem as a result. Read the README and follow the instructions there. If you still have problems, check the email archives for similar questions. There should be plenty of information in these two avenues to solve this issue. If not, you'll need to be more specific about why the standard configuration doesn't work for you.
