FYI. Problem solved! Our NT_Services group here changed some "start-up" scripts which were setting $HOMEDRIVE. I just had to re-map that drive and cygwin started up correctly.
I have a few questions. 1. $HOMEDRIVE for me is on a network share is this going to be a problem? 2. Shouldn't cygwin use something like $My_Documents as it's home? This is mostly on a local drive for all windows installs. 3. Does cygwin not build a /home/$USERNAME dir/path as part of it's install? I did a complete install and expected it. Before I uninstalled my previous cygwin install (which was installed a year ago) I did have a /home/$USER dir and that is what I backed up. 4. If the answer to number 3 is No. Can I just create a /home/$USER and copy my old /home/user there?
