Problem Starting Xterm

Hi, 
 
I have just installed cygwin on WIN XP, with the all xorg packages
installed. But not the xfree86 ones because they say removed package
beside them - which I take to mean they are deprecated?
 
Anyway by using either startxwin.bat startx or startxwin.sh, the xwin
program starts and has the black X in the system tray it doesn't seem
frozen as I can toggle hiding it if I want, but no xterm starts, and
when I try to manually start one using just the command xterm the
response is: "xterm Xt error: Can't open display:"
 
Could someone help me with this?
 
Thanks
 
Kevin
