I was going to say that I've never heard of Iolo, but ... http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=iolo+cygwin&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official ... it turns out that I have, because I replied to this post from January 15th: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-01/msg00470.html It looks possible that if you were to run the service control manager (Start->Run->"services.msc", also in Start->Settings->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services) and both stop and disable the "iolo DMV Service", your cygwin apps might work; I don't know if it would affect the anti-virus functionality. Failing that, you might have to uninstall it altogether; as you've guessed, shutting down the application doesn't always fully shut it down, it often leaves a service or a device driver running somewhere, and sometimes uninstalling is the only way out of the mess. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
