(It's easy to think it's another useless autorun and disable it if you're trying to optimise your computer's boot-up times, but what actually happens in that case is that other components of DLA keep running and lots of stuff goes wrong when they can't talk to the startup component.) It ought to be OK if it's either completely uninstalled or completely fully-enabled; it only causes problems when people have manually tweaked their startup autoruns. - Maybe google desktop is busy indexing all your docs in the background and is slugging everything somehow. You might want to try disabling or temporarily uninstalling it to see if that helps. cheers, DaveK -- 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
