Hello,

I had a problem after installing cygwin, and (I think that) my
problem does not appear in the FAQ.

My problem:
- an old (and broken) version of cygwin was installed.
- installing a fresh new one led to the cygwin shell to NOT start:
   - the window opens and closes very fast

The solution:
- reboot the PC !

The explanation:
- an old version of cygwin1.dll did exist and was incompatible
with the new one.


What the FAQ could say:

- if the cygwin shell does not start, open a Windows shell and
type the following:
  chdir C:\cygwin\bin
  bash --login -i
then read the message .

- if the install seems to install with success but the cygwin
shell does not start, reboot the PC.


Hope it helps,

Tony
