Ok, you have system mounts, so my guess was incorrect.

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. > I guess it's not really helpful, translating to english it says: "blah > blah blah, I have no information to display the message".
