lots of things are rediculous. like not reading the archives.

Have you tried using a virtual machine linux (like with Virtual PC 07 or
something?)

BTW, is this Vista? please _dont_ tell me it Vista... if it is, turn OFF
UAC - it plays "f* you cygwin" (there is code to find cygwin in there
somewhere I swear!)

Its called the "task" "manager" - select "bash.exe" (or whatever your
shell of choice is) and select "set Affinnity" - it'll show up if you're
really on a Dual-core machine.
