* XTerm won't start on Win2000

I'm a newbie to Cygwin X, and I can't open an XTerm. I've tried various
options including startxwin.bat, startxwin.sh (from a Cygwin bash shell)
and manually typing in commands from startxwin.sh.
When running the bat file in dos, I get nothing - no error messages and no
xterms.
From bash, I still don't get xterms but I do get an error message: "xterm
Xt error: Can't open display: 127.0.0.1:0.0"
I've tried reinstalling the whole of my Cygwin dist, just Xfree, fonts and
zlib with absolutely no effect.
I'm not using ssh and I have a colleague who should have an identical PC
build who uses Xfree fine, so I know it's possible.
There is no X log being created in /tmp. In fact, /tmp is empty. Having
read other posts, I find this distinctly worrying.
I'm running Win2000Professional and I've checked for suppressed pop-ups
about missing dlls. There aren't any.
Sorry not to provide more information but this is all I have! Any clues
for where to find more logs, or (even better) a solution to my predicament
would be greatly appreciated.

I've fixed the problem by totally removing Cygwin and re-installing from
scratch. So I guess there was some sort of problem with my previous
download. I still have no idea what though.
