I'm trying to start XWin.exe on a fresh cygwin install via startx and am getting the following:
bash-3.2$ startx xauth: creating new authority file /cygdrive/c/Users/anallen/.serverauth.4156 giving up. xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. After the "xauth" message, I get a frame of a window titled "Cygwin/X:0.0" (but nothing in the window), the computer screen "greys out", and a window pops up saying: "XWin.exe has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem... A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
