Using CYGWIN GrADS on vista and Windows 7

[Fredrick Mashingia]

Zilore

If its installed,right-click the cygwin shortcut from the the desktop,go to properties,compactibility and select windows xp. It should work. Otherwise go to control panel..programs and features..run program made for previous versions..

Happy working

Fredrick

Fredrick,
thanks very much for your assistance. But where exactly do I change the setting?
