Vista RTM startxserver & startxwin fail?


Please forgive me if I'm not posting this to the correct list...

I've just done a fresh install of Windows Vista Business Enterprise. For some reason, I cannot get the cygwin X server to start.

When I run either of the batch files in the subject, I get a popup message from the OS saying that "sh.exe has stopped working". To clean up from this error, I have to go into task manager and kill the following processes:
two instances of Xwin.exe
sh.exe
xterm.exe (if running startxwin)


I've also noticed that if I do a netstat -anb, Xwin.exe is listening on port 6000. When I installed, I did a full installation and have already tried running a rebaseall, but to no avail.

My RUN statement is just the default:
%RUN% XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error

Since I have 2 monitors attached to my desktop, I originally started with the -multiplemonitors argument, but removed it during troubleshooting.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Below is my /tmp/XWin.log

_XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created.
