Bhiksha, This is a forum for all problems with Cygwin, so your question fits in nicely. To answer it, Cygwin never *causes* a BSOD. It may expose or trigger a bug in Windows or some process running with system privileges (antivirus programs have been blamed a lot), but Cygwin itself doesn't have enough access to the low-level OS to be able to cause a BSOD. Try turning off your antivirus program(s) and see if it makes the BSOD go away. Another possibility is firewall or VPN software. The output of 'cygcheck -s -v -r' as a non-inline uncompressed text *attachment* wouldn't hurt, either (as indicated in <http://cygwin.com/bugs/>). Igor P.S. I'm sure you'll get more and better responses on Monday. -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.
