Forgot to read and follow the problem reporting guidelines?

My WAG - you're not running the X-server.  Run it and try again.  If
you don't have it, re-run 'setup.exe' and install all the X packages.
Open a command prompt and type 'startxwin.bat' and return.  Wait for
the X-server to start (puts a little "X" in your task bar).  Try again.
