I've never used mixtex, so I'm just making this up. But: it's possible that mixtex has accidentally invoked the Cygwin version of pdfeTeX, instead of its own. Try putting miktex's directory on the front of your PATH, like this: $ PATH=/cygdrive/c/Program Files/texmf/miktex/bin:$PATH latex myfile.tex -- Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientist. --E.B.
