The only firewall/antivirus programs that are running are Symantec Antivirus
and the Vista Firewall.  Are either of those known to cause these types of
issues?  I've also removed cygwin and re-installed it with all default
packages, X11, ssh/ssl, and rebase as recommended.  It gives the error some
times, but others it executes normally.  The Icon of the executed program is
that of XWin.exe but it is still a command line, no different than merely
running cygwin.exe.
