I have been an avid cygwin user for several years. I recently bought a new HP laptop with Vista, and I immediately installed cygwin. I had a few glitches but was able to figure out fixes for all of them but one: emacs just flat-out refuses to open a display window. This is the only program which has this problem that I know about so far. Everything else that I commonly use works fine.
I've tried the following commands in an xterm, all to no avail: emacs & emacs -d :0 & emacs -d 0:0 & I don't get any error messages, but no emacs either. Emacs is installed, by the way. I can run it in the parent xterm window by emacs -nw but this doesn't work right either (it freezes up, the keystroke commands don't work right, etc.). Also, the phantom emacs processes that never open a window show up in ps. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling emacs, but no luck. I searched the mail archives and couldn't find anyone else who had seen this problem. Any ideas? ____________________________________________________________ Scan, remove and block Spyware.
