OK, topleveladmin on the server is set to NO. Should it be set to yes?
But per Richard or Arno, I renamed the cvs subdir (to mycvs) and I'm fine now checking to the root, however, a new problem has come up: if the projx already exists on the root when I originally did cvs co -P projx, re-executing the command a 2nd time in a row or also running will prompt me to delete the projx before proceeding, but if I CD into the projx and do cvs update projx or . dot, then I'm fine. Is that normal?
Here's the new error msg:
...
cvs checkout: move away projx/help/ja/SubAccount.htm; it is in the way
C projx/help/ja/SubAccount.htm #my comment: looks like it checks it out though anyway & it just likes to complain...
...
....
and so on and so forth about every file that already exists.

You will wish to look and see if it is set by checking out the CVSROOT/config file from the repository.
Read https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.20/cvs_18.html#SEC184
If you see that you are indeed configured to use TopLevelAdmin=yes, then Arno Schuring's analysis that you are unable to create and populate a C:\CVS directory is likely the root-cause of your problem.
Good luck,
