I don't know it this was unique to my machine, but am reporting it in case anyone else runs into the same issue. When running Microsoft update today, on Win2k, the patch for Security Update for DirectX 9 for Windows 2000 (KB904706) hung during installation, with an instance of cygrunsrv hogging 100% CPU, until I had stopped every last one of my cygrunsrv processes. I don't know what the Microsoft update was trying to do to running services during the update, but it obviously didn't interact very well with cygrunsrv.
I have encountered this on a Windows 2000 system whenever I install/uninstall Apple's iTunes and QuickTime. I end up with cygrunsrv using all CPU time and when I kill it, the Apple installation fails. No idea why... the only way past this was to manually uninstall the Apple products and reinstall them.
Not sure what the pattern is here, but it's one more piece of data... Mike -- 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/
