Hello Rudi,

you get this error when you do what?

The shortcut on the desktop is a link to a batch file, this file
contains something like this:

C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin
bash --login -i

So maybe you open a cmd shell, enter the above three commands and see
what happens then?
If this works, then something with batch file processing is broken on
you system.
Or do you get the same error when you call Bash directly?


Regards,
Gerrit
