Windows Event log shows: ----- snip ------------------------------------------------------------- Faulting application cygcheck.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module msvcrt.dll, version 7.0.2600.2180, fault address 0x0002f463. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. ----- snip ------------------------------------------------------------- It also offers a diagnostic file, which I have attached. Maybe I have a more severe issue with my installation...??? Again, I appreciate any insight...
