Problem solved! I do have null.sys on my system but it was not listed in the Windows device manager. It somehow got uninstalled. I looked for a while for some manual way to re-install it to no avail, so I re-installed Windows XP. Now cygwin works fine, but just about everything else is broken... I'll re-install XP's SP1 and hopefully things should return to normal.
Thanks for the assistance. Sandy --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
