emacs open display problem

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I have been an avid cygwin user for several years. I recently bought a new HP 
laptop with Vista, and I immediately installed cygwin. I had a few glitches but 
was able to figure out fixes for all of them but one: emacs just flat-out 
refuses to open a display window. This is the only program which has this 
problem that I know about so far. Everything else that I commonly use works 
fine.

I've tried the following commands in an xterm, all to no avail:
  emacs &
  emacs -d :0 &
  emacs -d 0:0 &

I don't get any error messages, but no emacs either.

Emacs is installed, by the way. I can run it in the parent xterm window by
  emacs -nw
but this doesn't work right either (it freezes up, the keystroke commands don't 
work right, etc.).

Also, the phantom emacs processes that never open a window show up in ps.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling emacs, but no luck.

I searched the mail archives and couldn't find anyone else who had seen this 
problem. Any ideas?
