I too had the same problem and I looked through some of the other posts.
Simon Jean-Francois posted the solution and Andy Koppe posted a followup. Just
as Andy has suggested, I got a in-use message box because I had a bash shell
running.

Re: XWin Server Not Starting

Well I figured that I would start over.  So, I downloaded the cygwin 
files again to a local disk.  Installed everything from the local disk.  
I found that this time the install did not put any programs in the 
Cyginw-X folder at all.  So I deleted the cygwin download and picked a 
different mirror site.  I found that the number of folders got bigger 
and this time when I installed, the Cygwin-X folder is populated.  ( The 
first site I used was OSU, anyway to ping them to have them upgrade the 
mirror with all of the folders?)

After the install I started the X server.  Worked okay, except that when 
the xterm started it still leaves a blank X windows hanging around.  
Have yet to investigate this, just finished the install.  I then started 
the cygwin dos window and it returned this error:
1 [main] bash 3660 C:\Xwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't 
allocate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0x850000, top 0x8B0000, 
reserve_size 389120, allocsize 393216, page_const 4096
2 [main] bash 2848 child_info::sync: wait failed, pid 3660, Win32 error 1812
   1861 [main] bash 2848 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp 
before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0x1000000, errno 11
2 [main] bash 2584 C:\Xwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't 
allocate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0x850000, top 0x8B0000, 
reserve_size 389120, allocsize 393216, page_const 4096
301671318 [main] bash 2848 child_info::sync: wait failed, pid 2584, 
Win32 error 1812
301672949 [main] bash 2848 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp 
before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0x1000000, errno 11

I killed the windows after these errors.  I was hoping to check see if 
'sh' was installed, but will look at the xterm instead.
Started the Xterm and got the following error:
/usr/bin/xterm: Could not exec /bin/bash: Bad address

looks like bash needs to be reinstalled or fixed.  Will do the reinstall 
and report back.

thanks
