Mmm...  Cygwin is a UNIX emulation environment under windows.  You got
yourself a UNIX shell prompt.  Technically, you've started Cygwin. :-)
What exactly are you trying to start again?

If my guess is correct, and you're trying to start an X session on
Cygwin/XFree86, try running startx, and search the cygwin-xfree mailing
list archives for details: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/
X-related questions should be addressed there.

It took the computational power of three Commodore 64s to fly to the moon.
It takes a 486 to run Windows 95.  Something is wrong here. -- SC sig file
