X on win 7

2011-07-07 Thread Daniel Bienstock

Hello,

I have a new Dell Dimension M6600 with Windows 7 SP 1.  I have disabled 
the Windows firewall and added rules to allow programs in cygwin and 
cygwin\bin to run.


I am using cygwin 1.7.9  (I also use older cygwins on many 32-bit Windows 
machines).


On this machine, X runs badly: often very slowly, and frequently with 
crashes as well.  A couple of times I was forced to reboot the machine -- 
Windows appeared unresponsive.


I did try rebaseall, but did not help (in fact had to reinstall cygwin).

I have seen some posts on this topic, but no definitive workaround.

Any help welcome.

Daniel Bienstock

I looked at the BLODA list, and I don't believe I have any of *those* 
programs running on my machine.  Is there a way I can identify the 
culprit?  Thanks in advance.

Turned off WinDefend,  but problem continues.

The Windows Task Manager shows a huge list of services running, like 
"Application Experience", which could be interfering.  But I have no idea 
which are safe to turn off.  I can send in a jpeg with that list, if that 
was helpful (and if the site accepts jpge attachments)
