Thanks Dave, I don't want to hijack this thread but I will explain further and then we can take to a new thread if we want. What I meant was I changed back to a non-debug released version of the dll and Insight started working again. With my debug version of Cygwin1.dll running Insight would get a Tcl/TK error looking for the init file. Changing back to the released non debug version fixed it. Yes - no duplicate dll's and the Service for Openssh (only Cygwin service I think I have running) had been started and restarted many times since I noticed this and the system rebooted quite few times. Hadn't thought much of it (was using gdb) until I double checked on a second system (same packages installed) and Insight worked there - then I knew something was up and remembered I was running a debug version and swapped back as fluke.
