Morning, I've been trying to get XWin to work on Vista without much success. As administrator I can start XWin (using startxwin.sh from a bash shell), but trying the same as a user, even a user with admin privileges (in the Administrator's group), XWin still does not start. When trying as a user I get the error:

X starting as admin and not as a user to me says permissions in vista. I have the User Access Control turned off and firewall exceptions for XWin and for port 6000/tcp. I've also tried starting X with the firewall turned off without success. Suggestions on what to try next?
