Re: Cygwin causes 0x00000024 Stop Error (BLUE SCREEN)
Hi, Chuck,
Do I have to say it?
D'Oh!

Guys, I'm really surprised nobody has mentioned the obvious culprit (or
asked the obvious question):
Anti virus software? Was McAfee or Norton (but esp. McAfee) running while
setup.exe was executed?
I *always* disable McAfee before running setup. Every time I forget, I
get a bluescreen. Minidump analysis shows that the fault is in fact
McAfee -- which runs in kernel mode -- and not setup.
I use Norton AntiVirus (2002) and I *never* enable automatic / background
scanning. I always stick to manual scanning. Mostly I apply it to email
attachments and occasionally to file downloads when I don't know or trust
the source.
(I also turn off McAfee when compiling; it really slows down disk IO)
