Hi,

I just updated my old cygwin installation to the new version 1.7.1.
I'm running it on a German WinXP SP3. The installation process went
without any problem or error message, but now if I try to start cygwin
using the desktop icon a command window appears for a short time and
then goes away again. Even if I try to start the cygwin.bat from a cmd
window I just end up in C:\cygwin\bin, but no bash is started at all.

Then I followed the instructions from
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.setup.html#faq.setup.uninstall-all to
uninstall cygwin, rebooted and installed 1.7.1 again. But again,
cygwin does not work.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Bernd.
