Hi, thanks for responding!  I tried Xwin.exe ":2" and got the following error:

DuplicateHandle failed Win32 error 6DuplicateHandle failed Win32 error 
6_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
winDetectSupportedEngines () - Windows 95/98/Me
winDetectSupportedEngines () - DirectDraw not installed
winSetEngine () - Using Shadow GDI DIB
winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed () - WindowClient width 640 height 480
winFinishScreenInitFB () - Could not allocate frame buffer

Fatal server error:
Couldn't add screen 0

Any ideas on what could be wrong?  Thanks again for your time.

Regards,
Chris
