That's simply not your fault.
I solved it anyway.

The original startxwin.bat (NOTE: THERE ARE TWO! It depends on the order you
install the X Files, I suggest for the future to create a kind of setup.exe
to get a fixed order) uses start /B
The /B option isn't supported in Win98 / ME, so it can't work.
I manually deleted the /B option from the .bat file, and now I got it
working.
Honestly, I don't know where I've seen the "second" startxwin.bat, one of
them was in the devel package, that's the one I use and it uses the /B
option, which is NT only.

Try this..
