Hi Larry 

Thanks for answering ... but i´ve already readed the dos and tried using the install steps .. I now used cygrunsrv -I cron -d "Cron" -p /usr/sbin/cron -a "-D" -1 /var/log/cron.log -2 /var/log/cron.log for service installation.
It now works ... *strange* maybe the EventLog tells some more defusing informations than needed. 

Thanks for your answer anyway

The problem?  Looks like the same old one to me.  You're not running cron as
SYSTEM.  It seems many folks don't follow directions and don't check the email
archives when they have a problem as a result.  Read the README and follow 
the instructions there.  If you still have problems, check the email archives
for similar questions.  There should be plenty of information in these two 
avenues to solve this issue.  If not, you'll need to be more specific about 
why the standard configuration doesn't work for you.
