cron start error


Hi,
I am unable to start cron service.
I did the usual steps to set it up (install/start):
	$ cygrunsrv --install cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
	$ cygrunsrv --start cron
but I get an "The application failed to initialize properly"
message window back from MS Windows.

So I did the following:
1. run cron_diagnose.sh (ver 1.6), which did not find any problems.
2. I followed the proposed sequence as per cron_diagnose output
   message ("If you are still unable to get cron to work, then try
   shutting down the cron service, uninstalling it,
   reinstalling it, and restarting it.)
3. /var/log/cron.log is empty

So I am reporting the problem. Please find attached
a. output of 'crontab -l'
b. output of 'cygcheck -srv' (Note: I got a 'GetVolumeInformation() failed')

Any helps is welcome.
Thanks in advance
Bye
