Problems after installing Microsoft Services for UNIX

Question

I had Cygwin installed and everything worked liked a charm. At some point I installed Microsoft Services for UNIX on my computer and the problems started.

• When I open up a commnad shell an wanna try the new functionality and type for example vi, the answer is:

  • PSXSS.EXE - Entry Point Not Found : The procedure entry point TFLFreeUserThreadStack could not be located in the dynamic link library ntdll.dll.

• When I try to open cygwin, it tells me:

  • /bin/bash: No such file or directory

When I connect an external Hard drive it needs 30' to detect it.

I tried to rollback to an earlier restore point. Which didn't really help. When installing SFU I agreed to case-senstive file system - Was this the cause and if so how can I reverse it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're just using the commmand shell for Cygwin you can take all the DLL's for this product along with all the commands you want to leverage and place them all in one directory. Then add the directory to the path if you want. It looks like the MS Unix stuff overwrote some settings in the registry. If you're using X11 as well, you may just want to re-install it over the MS Unix stuff and see if that works.
