Output of cygcheck.out is attached. Same driver problem? If so, the solution is to get the updated driver that fixes the bug in the driver. In general, Cygwin can't make workarounds for all the bugs in all the drivers that are out there. On occasion, it *may* make sense for Cygwin to workaround Windows kernel bugs, since these could affect everyone, not just those who have this or that buggy driver. But really, even in this case, the best solution is to fix it at the source. Otherwise, the bug will just bite you again when you do some other operation with some other app. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
