Hello, I know I'm not the only one with this prob...here is what i did to get it up. I'm not sure how much of this is overkill though... (for some reason, just reinstalling xfree didn't fix it) 1. delete cygwin and all shortcuts 2. run regedit, delete all "cygwin" entries 3. reinstall cygwin 4.

Why don't you please re-read the original message. I explained what happens when I run the bat files. The path in the bat files are correct or it would not open the xwindow in the first place! You cant even open startx with the wrong path. I get the startx window, the window after that and the

Hi, I'm assuming this is the list for config problems. I dl the prog today from: http://archive.progeny.com/cygwin/xfree/binaries/4.2.0/ When I run it, the x window pops up for maybe a second and then vanishes and the startxwin shell says: "X connection to 127.0.0.1:0 broken (explicit kill or s
