  Nope.  It's more likely that something else on your computer is breaking cygwin and the other programs.  Do you have any of the following installed?

Sonic Solutions burning software containing DLA component
Norton/MacAffee/Symantec antivirus or antispyware
Logitech webcam software with "Logitech process monitor" service
Kerio, Agnitum or ZoneAlarm Personal Firewall
Iolo System Mechanic/AntiVirus/Firewall
LanDesk
Windows Defender 
Embassy Trust Suite fingerprint reader software wxvault.dll

  In the cygwin bash shell.  If those commands don't work, something must have gone very wrong with the install process.  Does /bin/mount and /bin/umount work better?



    cheers,
