    Shortly after updating vista to service pack 2, Cygwin broke.  It can't

    commands work, except for pwd and cd. If I invoke env by ./env (the only
    way it works) I get:

    I tried a complete uninstall and reinstall but have the same problem. I
    used to have /home/strannik as a home directory. I could go back to that
    or use the C:\User\strannik, but I can't figure out how to get either one.


    Any idea what could have gone wrong, or what to look for?

Seeing chycheck output as described in the above link should be helpful.

cygcheck is attached.

Thanks
