The window tells me to kill any other cygwin process and reboot, but there is none running (this is my first trial). What else could I tell about this to help someone to help me? I apologize if this message is not full of information, but the error messages are all I have. I tried to attach the PNGs of the error windows, but the system blocked me. __________________________________ Hélio C.
