Well, as a last attempt at trying to figure out why startx/ssh was blue-screening my XP box, I tried something that was mentioned on this list, for different reasons: I uninstalled Zone Alarm Pro 5. Bingo. No blue screen. Everything works fine. Have not installed Zone Alarm v4.x yet, to see

A bluescreen is an error inside the windows kernel. Either the base system it self or some drivers (i suspect the second). Software can only trigger this. But there have been only minor changes in Cygwin/X and I doubt they could lead to a bluescreen since no hardware access has changed. Well,

Nope, the network card is built-in; no pcmcia. I didn't check the chipset, but I can say that a previous version of cygwin worked just fine with X. The only reason why I upgraded cygwin was because I had to reformat/reinstall XP because Roxio Media Creator wreaked havoc. But that's another

Alexander, SNIP This is the first report of a blue screen since a long time. Leave it to me to find a way to blue-screen Windows :) SNIP maybe the network driver is the cause. Not sure, but to be honest, I wasn't thinking in that direction, so I appreciate the suggestion. I
