Cannot start X

[Harold L Hunt II]

Martin,

You need to search your computer for ``cygwin1.dll'' and remove any 
copies that are not in your Cygwin directory.  You must search *all 
directories* on your computer for cygwin1.dll.  The following FAQ entry 
gives a little additional information on the problem:
