In that case you're probably doing something wrong. At the very least, you aren't following the guidelines suggested here: http://cygwin.com/problems.html >Appears regtool has a different syntax than what's shown on the page. > >(a) How do I get my previous settings (default, cygwin 1.7) back?

I'd suggest reading this link, referenced at the above web page: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html cgf ---- I understand you dont have a lot of time to respond to emails, but if you cant respond helpfully, please attempt to read the email before polluting the thread with a dismissive reply. regtool has a different syntax from what is shown on the max memory page. regtool -i set Key\Value not regtool -i set Key Value. Doing the latter seems to have removed the cygwin registry values. I asked how to get the original registry values back, and whether there was a problem not having these values.
