Is there any way > how to do it? As Marco mentioned, setup.exe is a user-space program, not a kernel one. Therefore, it is not possible for it to be crashing your system. If you are experiencing a blue-screen or any kind of O/S crash, this can only be initiated by kernel-level code. Beyond the obvious O/S code itself, things like hardware drivers and some virus and malware detectors fall into this category. Your best bet is to look at any recent O/S, driver, virus, and malware updates or additions that could be responsible. Looking for a Cygwin-specific solution is at best a time-sink. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
