Re: unable to open display "" 6 times when I try to run any X apps from xterm

When I try to start any X application, from an xterm, I get the following errors. This used to always work but is broke for some reason. I would like some direction on how to troubleshoot this. I think this is some kind of program running that is getting in the way but can't find which one. Both virus and firewall are disabled. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Start the X server first (xstartwin). If that doesn't work, then your firewall and/or virus scanner are likely to blame, disabled or not. Uninstall them and try again.
