Can't get Cygwin/X to run on my Windows XP

[hendrau <hendrai at yahoo dot com>]

Hi guys,

I recently installed Cygwin/X on my computer , which runs a Windows XP, and
followed the instructions carefully. But everytime (including the first time
I tried) I run the file startxwin.bat, I get the following error message:

Welcome to the XWin X Server
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 6.8.99.901-4

Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com

XWin was started with the following command line:

X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard

_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already
run
ning
winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress
X connection to localhost:0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

I tried installing it on a friend's computer in _exactly in the same way_
and it works there without a hitch. I am frustrated because I need it to run
on my computer, not my friend's. In both installations I set the environment
variable DISPLAY=localhost:0

Can anybody help me resolve this dilemma?

Thanks in advance.
