processor at 100%

[Shawn Henderson]

you are correct it is Cygrunsrv (woops shouldve looked while typing 
mail) I use the task manager to end the processes. I dont restart the 
services and I can ssh from a remote computer like if was running but 
does not show up in the task manager. I think it might be related to me 
installing everything. This is my test pc and I installed everything 
till I figured out the basics of what I needed is there a way to 
uninstall and reinstall . I have tried using setup.exe but It doesnt 
take it off.

Thanks
