Re: Invalid Current Euid 500

Are you running it as the same user who setup cygwin? It looks like your
user id code isn't recognised for some reason (I think). Maybe try as a
different user?

Ah that was the problem. I recently had a hard drive crash and had to
reinstall everything .. oddly though I didn't have any user accounts
(WinME). I added a new user account and everything works now. Thanks for
your help.
