Newer is better but either should work in your case. If the installation doesn't get you a working Cygwin, you need to look for other buggy system software getting in the way. This includes things like virus scanners, firewalls, spyware, and even Logitech webcams, etc. You'll need to try uninstalling these to get things working and then re=install until you find the problematic package. Agnitum Outpost and Kerio firewall products have specifically been implicated by users on this list and seem to be popping up allot lately. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
