Using "msconfig" from the "Run" command restart your machine with all non-Microsoft programs stopped. On the "Services" tag, click "Hide all Microsoft Services", then "Disable All". On the "Startup" tag, click "Disable All". Click "OK" and reboot. Does the problem still occur? If not, then BLODA may be to blame. If so, then the problem space is smaller and maybe easier to find a test case. -Allan -- 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/
