I ran it in a command window. C:\cygwin\bin>cygcheck ./ls.exe .\ls.exe .\cygwin1.dll C:\Windows\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL C:\Windows\system32\ntdll.dll C:\Windows\system32\KERNEL32.dll C:\Windows\system32\RPCRT4.dll C:\Windows\system32\Secur32.dll .\cygintl-8.dll .\cygiconv-2.dll All of those exist. My wife went searching and found a recommendation to install cygwin for "myself only" instead of "all users', on VIsta, but I haven't been offered this option since my first install (if ever). I hate Vista. And I'm not too fond of HP either, right now. But I should note that I had no problems with cygwin on my previous (Win2K) machine, which also ran NAV and lots of other potentially dodgy apps. -- 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/
