I just downloaded the lastest CVSNT (version 2.0.34).  I followed the install instructions (http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/InstallationTips).  I can run the cvs command and get the various help pages its version etc but then I try and list files the service crashes with a dialog like this:
    cvsnt service    cvsnt service has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are 
    sorry for the inconvenience.

 
My environment variable is set:
    cvsroot=:sspi:TheLesliesMain:/TEST
 
and the command line I tried is:
    cvs ls -l -R
 
after I dismiss the error dialog box I get this on the command line:
    cvs [ls aborted]: Can't authenticate - server and client cannot agree 
    on an authentication scheme (got '')


Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I have other friends who are running this successfully on their XP boxes but for some reason I cannot get this to work on my machine.  Here is what I have tried:

    * uninstall and reinstall

    * tried several recent previous versions

    * turned off virus protection programs (both during install and while running)

 

All lead to the same crash.
