Check your nVidia video drivers. After battling this same problem for the last couple of months, I started to wonder if this could be a video problem. My HP has an nVidia GeForce Go 6150. I did a Google search on nVidia and Vista, and found several hits on incompatibilities. Going back to hp.com to check on driver updates, I found 2 driver updates for Chipset and Driver with the explanation: "Fixes display compatibility issues that may occur when resuming from Suspend/Hiberation mode." I installed, and it SEEMS to have fixed the problem. Granted this is one time, but it's one more time than I've been successful before this. Hope this helps... -Scott -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
