Hello Rasjid Thanks for your tip which was not daft at all, since cygwin was actually running, I just couldn't start xfree from the cygwin shell. In fact, the cygwin find utility did find another copy of cygwin1.dll in the c:\windows folder, and deleting this file did solve the problem. Before deleting it, I repeated trying to find this file with the Windows XP Explorer. The first try was searching in C:, which failed to find c:\windows\cygwin1.dll but found C:\cygwin\cygwin1.dll (sic!), then I tried searching in C:\windows (without changing anything else), and this time c:\windows\cygwin1.dll was found. The Windows XP explorer really seems to have a problem finding files :-(
