Re: unable to open display 6 times when I try to run any X apps from xterm
The problem is that I never had to use run before. So what I want to do is fix whatever is broken. Let me recap; All commands are in xterm with X running. $ xhost /usr/X11R6/bin/xhost: unable to open display /usr/X11R6/bin/xhost: unable to open display /usr/X11R6/bin/xhost: unable to open display /usr/X11R6/bin/xhost: unable to open display /usr/X11R6/bin/xhost: unable to open display /usr/X11R6/bin/xhost: unable to open display [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ xcalc Error: Can't open display: Error: Can't open display: Error: Can't open display: Error: Can't open display: Error: Can't open display: Error: Can't open display: When I use run with xcalc it works fine. Using run with xhost will run xhost fine but I need to enter before it will show the prompt. Any ideas?

Re: unable to open display 6 times when I try to run any X apps from xterm
Yes I had the same problem, over a year ago, with the Logitech webcam software. Very painful to figure that one out. I can't believe they write stupid software like that. I have an update to my problem. If I start xhost with run xhost It works fine. Any ideas how to fix this?

Re: unable to open display 6 times when I try to run any X apps from xterm
May bee a longshot, A couple of months ago I had the same problem and it turned out to be a DLL problem caused by Logitec web-cam drivers. If you have those installed try uninstalling them and see if this solves the issue. Talked to logitec about it and they responded that Injecting their DLL into the screen routing of windows was a good idea... and why the h*ll I would want to use linux on windows... Good luck.

Re: unable to open display 6 times when I try to run any X apps from xterm
I have uninstalled window's firewall (which was disabled before) and uninstalled the virus software (AVG). Still not working. Can't use xhost or any X program except xterm without getting 6 errors of - Can't open display. I'm a little confused about the response since the output I showed was from an xterm started using startxwin.bat which launches X before starting xterm which is an X app? I have been using this configuration for over 2 years on this box and it suddenly stopped working. I can't seem to locate xstartwin. Where can I find it? Any other suggestions or insight into what could be causing this? What is the meaning of 6 errors when I try to execute xhost?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Start the X server first (xstartwin). If that doesn't work, then your firewall and/or virus scanner are likely to blame, disabled or not.
