UAC (User Ass Control) is playing hell with me - i turned it off and no
problems since I rebooted. also, TURN OFF WINDOWS LIVE ONECARE, it is an
axe to Cygwin. Also, Cygwin will vewry often NOT run on Vista Home
because certain things seem to be missing.

1 - Turn Off UAC
2 - Turn Off Live One Care
3 - reboot

thats what I did and it worked.

Just a thought,
Morgan Gangwewre
