Hello,
Am having difficulty getting this email through.

I installed cygwin per a the web site's and a Professor's instructions. In startx, got

BScreen::BScreen: an error occured whil querying the Xserver.
another window manager already running on display:0.0.

Openbox: no managable screens found aborting

...attached is the XWin.log.

Thank you,
Brian Ammon

The problem is not with the X server, XWin.log shows it started normally. But you specified -multiwindow, meaning you will be using MS-Windows itself as window manager. So startx should not start any WM of its own. What exactly is there in your startx?
