Your cygcheck output contains: | Warning: There are multiple cygwin1.dlls on your path | | Potential app conflicts: | | ZoneAlarm Personal Firewall | Detected: HKLM Registry Key. so you probably ought to resolve those issues first. Google shows that 'ibmfilter.sys' causes BSODs with many applications. As a workaround, you might try rebooting into "safe mode" (to prevent that driver from loading), then running the postinstall scripts in that environment. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
