I setup a few lines in my bash_profile to set the DISPLAY environment variable to ":0.0" Afer that I tried to get XLaunch to launch from an shell script with a configuration as if I had typed on the command line "XLaunch -run ". I failed to get XLaunch to startup as desired, it just kept starting up as is the script had only XLaunch in it with out the args. Anyway, in that process I started up the xserver and exited from it maybe 10 times in the course of a few minutes. Then I noticed the problem. That is now when I try to start the xserver with XLaunch the cygwin window become unresponsive and my cpu and memory use goes to 100%. If I do it soon I can use task master to end the cygwin window that that terminates the problem. If I wait for a while, then task master becomes unable to to terminate the cygwin window or process. I first uninstalled and reinstalled XLaunch, and that failed to cure the problem. Next I uninstalled all X components and reinstalled them, and that failed to cure the problem as well. Restarting the computed failed to help. I did how ever notice that I can use startxwin to get the xserver running. This also has a twist. After I get the xserver running with startxwin, my x-apps can only be started with the x application menu icon in the system tray. If I try to start them from the cygwin command line they just say "Can't open display:" I ran sfc on my machine and found that it had some bad files, although it was unable to repair them all. I'm at a loss as to how to further that. The x application window say it's using display 0, which is what I set my bash_profile to set the DISPLAY environment variable for, and that is working properly. Also when starting up with startxwin even before this problem there was a message that it is still issuing when it starts: xauth: (stdin):2: unknown command "ecfa38af903200c6fb04ea87abf12d2e" Any help would be appreciated.
