X on win 7

Hello,
I have a new Dell Dimension M6600 with Windows 7 SP 1. I have disabled
the Windows firewall and added rules to allow programs in cygwin and
cygwin\bin to run.
I am using cygwin 1.7.9 (I also use older cygwins on many 32-bit Windows
machines).
On this machine, X runs badly: often very slowly, and frequently with
crashes as well. A couple of times I was forced to reboot the machine --
Windows appeared unresponsive.
I did try rebaseall, but did not help (in fact had to reinstall cygwin).
I have seen some posts on this topic, but no definitive workaround.
Any help welcome.
Daniel Bienstock
