Just a shot in the dark here. Do a search on your system for the file "cygwin1.dll". Make sure there is only one, and that it's in the cygwin tree (c:\cygwin\usr\bin\cygwin1.dll by default).From: "Konstantin N.

Thinking that the installation packages might have gotten corrupted, I did a clean download and reinstall. This did not change a thing, I still get the same error message. The system is W2k with SP2. It is weird that Cygwin did not create my user name during the initialization so I had to edit the /etc/passwd file to put it there. Also I changed my default shell to /usr/bin/tcsh. This is probably irrelevant however.
Running "man startx" from a bash prompt tells you everything you could ever want to know about startx. In short, to pass parameters to the XServer, use this syntax "startx -- -serverparm". For example:The startx command still seem to work fine. I would like to pass some options to XWin as I did before with the startxwin.bat file, however, I am not sure how to do this via startx. Any suggestions/help is appreciated! Regards, Konstantin
startx -- -rootless
tells startx to tell XWin to start in rootless mode.
