Morning,

I've been trying to get XWin to work on Vista without much success. As
administrator I can start XWin (using startxwin.sh from a bash shell),
but trying the same as a user, even a user with admin privileges (in
the Administrator's group), XWin still does not start. When trying as
a user I get the error:

--------------------------------
user AT host ~
$ startxwin.sh

$ xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 127.0.0.1:0.0

--------------------------------

I don't see an error here. X starting as admin and not as a user to me
says permissions in vista. I have the User Access Control turned off
and firewall exceptions for XWin and for port 6000/tcp. I've also tried
starting X with the firewall turned off without success.

Suggestions on what to try next?

Mike
