I'm glad you to reply my posting.

I have been waiting the reply like the above. I am not a specialist for the cygwin so I cannot answer
for it. I have used 'rebaseall' on my XP computers to the grace be worked by the helps here. (I
realyy appreciate that.) I felt that this was not a VISTA specific issue but I cannot answer it
because my knowledge is not enough for rebasing.

I told to Vinod that I think it is impossible to bind the Xming and the cygwin setup because Xming is
not a cygwin software.
Is this right ?

This suggestion is really need for Vinod, I think.
Larry Hall, I really appreciate you for your sincere advises.
