I've created a separate thread for tracking this problem. The attached files are from the computer at work. I have never seen the problem here before, only at home (both running Windows 7 64-bit). The computer at home has been showing this symptom since later versions of the server (1.6.x). [118193.783] winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress [118193.783] winClipboardProc - winClipboardFlushWindowsMessageQueue trapped WM_QUIT message, exiting main loop. [118193.783] winClipboardProc - XDestroyWindow succeeded. [118193.783] winClipboardIOErrorHandler! [118193.783] winMultiWindowXMsgProcIOErrorHandler! [118193.783] winInitMultiWindowXMsgProc - Caught IO Error. Exiting. [118193.829] winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress [118193.829] (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file. Here's how I start the server: C:\Cygwin\bin\run.exe --quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd; /usr/bin/startxwin" Cygwin version: CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW machine 1.7.35(0.286/5/3) 2015-02-18 11:28 i686 Cygwin I have a faint sneaking suspicion that the problem is related to TeamViewer remote access software: http://www.teamviewer.com/ The reason I say this it that the only activity that would have occurred on my home computer, during the day when I'm at the office, would be a possible Team Viewer log-in from work. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us
