I'm trying to install cygwin on windows XP SP2. After successfully installing, while opening Cygwin terminal it's showing the following error.
1 [main] -bash 4064 C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - prefork: couldn't create pipe process tracker, Win32 error 161
1 [main] -bash 3160 C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - prefork: couldn't create pipe process tracker, Win32 error 161
1 [main] -bash 3400 C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - prefork: couldn't create pipe process tracker, Win32 error 161

did you tried to open it with administrative privileges? – mnmnc – 2013-07-30T14:13:10.433
Errors of this type often result from a version incompatibility between the program you're running and the Cygwin DLL. Has the machine you're installing on had a previous Cygwin version installed on it? Was this an update from Cygwin 1.5 to Cygwin 1.7? – Aaron Miller – 2013-07-30T15:01:42.917
