Your suggestion about removing files from c:\cygwin\etc\profile.d to some temporary directory worked. I can now type commands after removing lily-miktex.sh and zlily-profile.sh and lily-python.sh. Does this mean I don't need these files? Once again thanks very much, Johan Schuurbiers

Have you tried running as administrator? You could try moving the files in c:\cygwin\etc\profile.d\ to some temporary directory. If it works better then, try to return the files one by one and see when it breaks. (This is really a wild shot.) Another idea is to press CTRL-C in the hanging window and see if you get a working prompt. /Mats > Hello, thanks for your quick response. I use the Windows 2000 > professional version.
