Error 29 on Vista

I installed Cygwin with the default packages with added ssh and the entire x11 package.  when I attempt to run xwindows using this batch file:

@echo off

C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin

bash --login -i startx

It gives the following error:

     45 [main] xterm 2240 child_copy: linked dll data write copy failed, 0x3AB0
0..0x3AB440, done 0, windows pid 2356, Win32 error 487
xterm: Error 29, errno 11: Resource temporarily unavailable
Reason: spawn: fork() failed

followed by:

winClipboardProc - winClipboardFlushWindowsMessageQueue trapped WM_QUIT message,
winClipboardProc - XDestroyWindow succeeded.

winClipboardIOErrorHandler!

FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be 1; f
ixing.
winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress

then it kicks me back to the command prompt.  anyone know a work around or perhaps a fix for this?

I'm running on an Administrator account as well.

Thanks.
