If you tried them and they didn't work then make it clear precisely what isn't working. Also, if this isn't an actual Cygwin problem then please look elsewhere for help. -- 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

Then you have an issue that is not related to Cygwin even though the issue may have begun coincidental to you installing Cygwin. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd -- 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

However, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942589 reports a problem with directly using system32 on 64-bit version of Server 2003 and Windows XP. Perhaps the version of Microsoft Windows is the issue?

From: Hazel black...@inbox.com Date: Thu, Sep 20, 2012 at 07:06:39AM -0700 Hi, I just installed cygwin and now I can not use the native taskkill command from windows command line, it will only reply with: 'taskkill' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I think that's more probably related to the command taskkill being found than to the file taskkill.exe being corrupted by Cygwin. Did something change your PATH ?

RE: Cygwin corrupted taskkill in windows commandline
On my system, taskkill is /cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/taskkill. That is, it is not part of Cygwin but is part of Windows. I suspect either that your PATH no longer includes /cygdrive/c/Windows/system32 or that taskkill.exe has been removed from that Windows directory. -Original Message- From: Hazel Hi, I just installed cygwin and now I can not use the native taskkill command from windows command line, it will only reply with: 'taskkill' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. This installation of Windows XP Pro 32Bit SP3 has been working with no issues since it was installed a year ago. I really need to solve this issue as ALOT of tools i have for windows uses taskkill for aborting DOS programs i use for special equipment such as a dot-matrix printer. -- View this message in context: http://cygwin.1069669.n5.nabble.com/Cygwin-corrupted-taskkill-in-windows-commandline-tp92938.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
