A few ideas: 1) What is in your environment before running emacs ? If it contains emacs_dir or any of the LANG variables then emacs could get confused. Knowing what is in your PATH would be useful too. 2) What anti-virus software are you using ? Cygwin have a list of problematic tools (search the Cygwin list for BLODA) and its possible that emacs is giving a false positive. Once you get emacs working ok directly from Windows, use "cygstart ./runemacs" from a Cygwin shell. AndyM
