This learned while playing with Windows XP SP 2 with SFU.

Hi Anit, I'm having exactly the same problem, I need to get a Latin American keyboard running on Cygwin/KDE. Did you receive any feedback on how to get this working?

I have other applications that create hidden windows, and they have no problem on Vista Beta 2. And from vbscript, I can launch programs with hidden windows, and they have no problem. I'll of course be reporting the problem to Microsoft as well, since nothing the program does should cause a crash. -- 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/
