| | Problems starting command prompt on cygwin on vista ultimate, problems not had on Win2k3SP2 Hi Vista gurus We're using CYGWIN_NT-6.0 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) We were successfully using it on Win2k3SP2 but on Vista ultimate it is not working as previously. When we start our application in the cygwin command prompt window, it is not doing anything but just times out after awhile, terminating the process started. The cygwin is setup to use the inetd account with certain user rights that we used on Win2k3SP2 successfully. We wonder if on Vista we need to setup cygwin any differently in regards to user rights and accounts, enironment variables, network access etc etc.? Many thanks for any solutions, ideas, tests, workarounds etc., QA4Ever |
