Found the problem.  It has to run as administrator.  Did that and it ran fine.  Still not sure why this was not an issue before. 
Sorry for the trouble. 
Might upgrade to 64 bit, but that means picking out what i have installed.

This log shows that the internal helper clients that the X server starts 
in multiwindow mode aren't able to connect to the X server.

You can probably confirm that's what's preventing the server from 
starting by trying 'X -noclipboard' and seeing if that succeeds.

It looks like something is preventing Cygwin's unix domain socket from 
working.  Since this is emulated using the loopback interface, this 
might be caused by firewall software.

Also, I note that you've installed 32-bit Cygwin.  There really 
shouldn't be any reason not to use 64-bit Cygwin on a new 64-bit system.
