You're running a version which is quite old. Please try the
lastet xorg-x11 packages. If this was a fresh install, plaese
consider using a different mirror, which is more up-to-date
Anyway, those kind of errors are common for running Cygwin/X
with some personal firewalls and online virus scanners. Do you
have any of those installed?
