Chris:

Thanks for the tip about 'cygcheck -s -v -r' however, msvcrt.dll is 
reporting a problem while attempting to execute 'cygcheck -s'.

Windows Event log shows:

----- snip -------------------------------------------------------------
Faulting application cygcheck.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module 
msvcrt.dll, version 7.0.2600.2180, fault address 0x0002f463.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at 
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
----- snip -------------------------------------------------------------

It also offers a diagnostic file, which I have attached.

Maybe I have a more severe issue with my installation...???

Again, I appreciate any insight...
