I too thought it unlikely that it could affect it but I was unsure as to
whether cygwin ever ever puts anything into \windows although I felt sure it
did not. I was just asking on the possibility someone might recognize
SYMEvent.

I am running Win95 - but we may have found it. We are testing the theory now
and as we all suspected if it is what we think it is *not* Cygwin related and
my apologies for cluttering the newsgroup. I mentioned it to someone else
here and they say - "gee sounds like SYMantec" and then I remembered I also
installed latest patch to Norton Antivirus (because of Anna Kournikova virus)
Monday - about the same time this started. I have currently disabled Norton
and I have booted several times to see what affect and so far have not seen.

You are correct - it would have been and I thought about but failed to follow
through on my thought. My apologies.
