I did as you requested - see below. 
BTW, there is a delay of 3-4 seconds for cmds like 'ps -ef'. Is this normal?

I did this from cmd prompt. It appeared to be stuck for what seemed a long
time - though maybe it was actually between 30-60 secs. Then the prompt came
alive and resized itself.

make sure that X is not running,,,

should not list Xwin

from the command line call

$ startxwin.sh
