Really? When you bought you last comp, what software was included? Win XP Home SP2 ? So please ensure that you're also running: Wordpad XP SP2 Internet Explorer XP SP2 MS MediaPlayer XP SP2 Open Office XP SP 2 WinAMP XP SP2 McAfee VirusScan XP SP2 ... and lookung at the Linux distributions ... Taking Red Hat 9.0 ... you may expect also bash 9.0 gcc 9.0 xfree 9.0 gnome 9.0 mplayer 9.0 well, if you find something different, you might write an open letter to Microsoft and Red Hat that they really ensure, that all delivered applications have the same version the next time. - Jörg -- 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/
