cygrunsrv will not start services most of the time

One of the first things I do on a new computer is install cygwin and openssh to get sshd access to it. (setting it up with ssh-host-config -y). Unfortunately, I seem to have a problem with cygrunsrv (version 1.34-1). Most of the time (say, 7 out of 10 times), it will not start the service.

Re: cygrunsrv will not start services most of the time

Well, I found the culprit. It seems that Google Desktop was causing the problem, because after I installed it, I had zero problems starting cygrunsrv services. I only have two machines with both Google Desktop and cygrunsrv services. It works fine on the other machine. Oh well, I need an SSHD
