X11 xterm error

Hey again
After trying various things to get IRAF wroking in cygwin i have decided to star from scratch including reinstalling cygwin.
I previously performed eveything in the bash shell, this time i was going to try using xterm, i started up start X ok, however when trying to run xterm (from the icon in the start menu) i got the following error message popup:
A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit.
Please open /tmp/XWin.log for more information
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 6.8.99.901-4
Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com
Xwin was started with the following command line:
/usr/X11R6/bin/XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error
I think this is the XWin.log it suggested
_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running
Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running
Any help would be greatly appreciated
cheers

would i possibly need to run ds9 from iraf rather than at some point before like in xgterm?
If so at present i get
ecl> ds9 &
[1]
ecl>
[1] ERROR: task `ds9' not found
[1] done 0.0 0:00 0%
cool cool

DS9 is not an IRAF task, so you'll need to escape it to start, e.g.
This requires that DS9 be in your path, or that you specify the full path to the binary.

Brilliant thanks all seems fairly in order, I found a few other changes i needed to make in communicating with ds9
cheers to everyone who helped me get IRAF set up
