I'm still awake. I'm trying to create a SP1 version of Win XP from an extra copy of XP that I have sitting around. I didn't anticipate that this would have different effects based on whether the service was allowed to interact with the desktop or not. I may be able to work around that fact. The reason for ignoring the argument in set_console_state_for_spawn is that I think the CreateWindowStation function always has to be called regardless of whether it's a non-cygwin process or not. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
