Re: XWin.exe not running on Vista


Have you tried starting Cygwin using Vista's "Run as Administrator"
option? I've found that Cygwin and Vista don't get along at all
unless you run the bash shell explicitly as Administrator.

Also, your message indicates that you're starting XWin directly
from bash, rather than using the startx script. FWIW, I find it
more generally useful to use startx.

Hope this helps,

Scott

Hi all,

I have installed the following Cygwin version on a Vista WS ( AMD 64 X2
Dual Core Processor with 32-bits Operating System):

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.0 nodename 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686 Cygwin


When I try to start XWin.exe, I get the following message:

XWin was started with the following command line:
