XWin.exe crashing at startup


I'm trying to start XWin.exe on a fresh cygwin install via startx and
am getting the following:

bash-3.2$ startx
xauth:  creating new authority file /cygdrive/c/Users/anallen/.serverauth.4156

giving up.
xinit:  Connection refused (errno 111):  unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

After the "xauth" message, I get a frame of a window titled
"Cygwin/X:0.0" (but nothing in the window), the computer screen "greys
out", and a window pops up saying: "XWin.exe has stopped working.
Windows is checking for a solution to the problem... A problem caused
the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program
and notify you if a solution is available."

I'm running Windows Vista Enterprise Service Pack 1
