Re: X windows problemsIn what way did UAC prevent you from running X? I've never had trouble with it (Windows 7 user).

Hi Art,
I installed Cygwin earlier this year on the laptop computer of one of my students. I typically use a rather barebones configuration where I have XWin running in the multiwindow mode. I use Cygwin in order to get tex-live and GNU Octave running on my crappy WinXP workstation at the college where I work. I believe that the installation I did on the laptop still works.
The notes that I made for myself when I did the Win7 installation on the laptop were:
1) definitely disable UAC (User Access Control). The UAC ruins your ability to start up Cygwin and XWin.
