X server fails to start on Vista

I downloaded Cygwin-X per the instructions in
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup-cygwin-x-installing.html

When selecting "Cygwin-X -> XWin Server" in the start menu, X does not
start and I get the following /var/log/XWin.0.log ...

/usr/bin/XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error

ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens
winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1280 h 1024
winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning
_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't
already running
winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress


-- My Vista account is of type "Administrator".
-- Another post mentioned ownership of  "/tmp/.X11-unix/". This
directory does not exist on my system.
-- I've disabled my Windows Firewall

Is there a "verbose" mode I might start up with to get more information?

Thanks,
Kim
