Are you on Windows 9x/ME?  If so install Cygwin1.dll from a latest Cygwin
Development snapshot ( http://cygwin.com ).
Also I uploaded a new Win.exe binary (Xxserv.tgz) a while ago.  It may not
be available on all the mirrors yet.  It might take upto 24 hours to show up
on mirror sites.  You can try it too.
