I've never used Cygwin and I haven't used Windows since the XP days, but I've gotten the impression that screwing things up with every update is pretty much standard operating practice for Microsoft. Still, congrats on finding a fix, though I'll admit I couldn't imagine being productive on a machine without key echo(I find not being able to hear what I type when entering passwords far more unsettling than I ever found not being able to see them back when I counted myself among the sighted). -- Sincerely, Jeffery Wright President Emeritus, Nu Nu Chapter, Phi Theta Kappa.
