Well, as a corporate user, your best bet is to go talk to your IT people and explain that it's causing a problem with the cygwin tools that you need to use to do your job and could they uninstall it for you please? The DLA software is used for (udfs) packet-based cd burning by dragging and dropping files to the cd in explorer. You won't be able to read or write packet-based discs any more but you'll still be able to read and burn standard disc-at-once or track-at-once cds. UDFS is a PITA anyway. Non-standard, plagued by buggy drivers and implementations, you're better off without it. I once had some UDFS packet-burning software on my w2k box that thought it had a really bright idea: it put a standard-format boot sector/autorun track (I forget exactly which) on every UDFS disc, that would run any time you inserted the disk in a machine without a UDFS driver and install one. Unfortunately the UDFS driver it installed was buggy. So what you really got was a disc which when you inserted it into a machine, it immediately BSoD'd the machine. But not before configuring the buggy driver to autostart in early boot. So after you take the disk out you're left with a brick that just auto-self-destructs every time you boot it up. Took a while to fix that one. This is why I feel that UDFS must die. > Ken > > > > > xx Let's keep it on a professional basis, please! ;-) cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
