Currently, my options seem to be: (1) go buy another laptop, maybe cygwin-x will work on that one. I kind of like this one, though, everything else works on it. (2) attempt to 'downgrade' from 6.8.99 to 6.8.1 / 6.8.2 (there's a mix of these available on the mirrors); I've seen one report by a user who had success fixing a similar issue by this means. Is there anythng I should know before I try this? It seems that setup.exe will refuse to change all the X components at once, in particular the xorg-x11-base needs to be changed separately. Do I change it first, or last? My previous experience with this sort of thing makes me concerned that I'll irrevocably mess up my install if I do this wrong. You may want to use startxwin.sh or startxwin.bat, since there seems to be no evidence of anybody trying those methods yet. My experience is that I have tried startx and startxwin.sh, and they both don't work; the startxwin.bat file is the only one that worked for me. Try it out, and see what happens.

RE: STARTXWIN.BAT Hanging Under Win2KPro
I have W2K Professional, and it works just fine. You may want to edit the startxwin.bat file to fit your needs. (Rightclick startxwin.bat edit) For your convenience, I wrote up this seperate little batch script (run under cmd or standalone): @echo off C: set CYGWINBASE=C:\cygwin set HOME=%CYGWINBASE%\home\[username] set PATH=%PATH%;%CYGWINBASE%\bin chdir=%CYGWINBASE%\bin cd .. cd usr\X11R6\bin startxwin.bat Reply if this helps or not.

If I run it, it will stall out - I can't right-click on the X icon in the system tray to bring up the menu, and when I examine the processes, it appears that XWin.exe is running, as well as an xterm.exe process, but no XTerm ever pops up. If I kill the process, then start it up *again*, everything pops up just fine. Ideas? If this is something that somebody has encountered before, a simple pointer in the right direction would do just fine. TIA. --- Douglas J.

RE: Can't launch X-windows from domain power user account
Have you tried using startxwin.sh from the Cygwin command line? --- What you said about the privileges, you mentioned /usr/tmp. That is just a temporary files dir. Instead you want to make the cygwin install dir accessible to all users, so you should: * Right click on on cygwin folder, hit properties * Security Add * Select Everything in the list and hit add * Hit OK twice. If any dialogs appear, just hit OK.
