I suspect it is somewhere in permissions but I have allowed the user and
group full access to the C: drive (my machine and test machine). None of
this has helped.

Yes I've done this too but it has made little difference. The warning
message at the start is gone but it is still the same error message.

Are there any registry files that Cygwin needs? I suspect there is something
that it can not access that it needs but I am unsure what.

Thanks for your help.
