On the technical side of what you just said, I don't really have a clue what 
your talking about as I am new to all this, and was going to use cygwin as a 
learning tool for myself to learn linux without having to give up windows 
and format my dirve re-partition it and install a full distrobution of it.

However on the simple side of what you said in your reply, I cant see whats 
wrong with my system. Everything is working fine and I have had no problems 
at all for a very long time.
Everything is up to date patch wise.
All my software runs fine, including games, ms office, visual studio .NET, 
Perl, and many other programs, EXCEPT the install of cygwin.

As I said it forces a reboot when I try to install it, and doesnt put any 
icons on the desktop or quickstart.
When I try to install it it, it gets so far then forces a reboot, and when 
the reboot finishes and I logon, I dont see any cygwin icons or quickstart 
stuff, and I get the corrupted messages.

Regards
Hyp
