unable to open display "" 6 times when I try to run any X apps from xterm


When I try to start any X application, from an xterm, I get the following
errors.  This used to always work but is broke for some reason.  I would
like some direction on how to troubleshoot this.  I think this is some
kind of program running that is getting in the way but can't find which
one.  Both virus and firewall are disabled.  Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,

-greg
