  a fatal error has occured and cygwin/X will now exit

  X Win was started with the following command-line
  X: 0-multiwindow
 
(shell is runing)(from shell I type startx, again failed)

Your spacing is off.  That needs to be:

X :0 -multiwindow

But I strongly recommend you install the xinit package (in the X11 
category), which includes startxwin and a Start Menu shortcut for 
starting XWin in multiwindow mode.
