Thanks a lot for your help! CV> Things to check: I'll be back answering those asap. Unfortunately, my host crashed (or so I believe: my session was interrupted, and I cannot log in anymore), and my local support is not as responsive as you... My last attempts, a few weeks ago, had ended up in a similar way: crash, then waiting for many days until the machine was completely reinstalled. I had no way to investigate anything myself, and wasn't told anything about the actual failure. Afterwards, two things came to my mind: - the extra errors in the event viewer logs: Perflib and rasctrs. Can *they* be the cause of the problem? If they took 300 bytes each, and there were a pair 5 times a minutes for 3 days, they took about 13 Mb of space -- sure, nothing to explain the crash? If I get back to the host, I'll have a closer look at them... - as I have installed cygwin, and packages under it, I have always started setup from the command line. In fact clicking on the setup icon wouldn't work, telling me to use the Add/[smthg] utility and put the host in some install mode. I even tried the utility, but couldn't find a source from local disk (options were CD ROM and some web site). Is there such an install mode, which I'd have by-passed, with some weird side-effects (cache flushing, registry protections, who knows)? -- Marc Girod P.O.
