The nuisance and the error itself should no longer occur. If you use the latest Cygwin package, you won't see this error. You don't need to create C:\Windows\SysWOW64\drivers\etc. If you're seeing this error, please follow the problem reporting guidelines from the link below to report the problem. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
