kDE 3.5 won't start

I am trying to run KDE 3.5 runing on HP Pavilion with windows and cygwin. The diplay opens with startx but xsetroot won't let me set it.

$ startkde
xsetroot: unable to open display ''
Error: Can't open display:
/usr/bin/startkde: line 77: .: /home/Adam: is a directory
/usr/bin/startkde: line 153: test: : integer expression expected
/usr/bin/startkde: line 157: test: : integer expression expected
xset: unable to open display ""
xsetroot: unable to open display ''
startkde: Starting up...
xprop: unable to open display ''
usage: xprop [-options ...] [[format [dformat]] atom] ...

start_kdeinit: No such file or directory
startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation.
Error: Can't open display:
Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory
ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server!
startkde: Shutting down...
Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory
Error: Can't contact kdeinit!
unix_connect: can't connect to server (unix:/tmp/ksocket-Adam Warren/Adam-0f40
startkde: Running shutdown scripts...
xprop: unable to open display ''
usage: xprop [-options ...] [[format [dformat]] atom] ...

startkde: Done.

There is no file called start_kdeinit also when I click on Kdeinit.exe or most of the other K applications in the directory I get this error.

The procedure entry point art_alloc could not be located in the dynamic link library cygart_lgpl_2-2.dll.

I am a newbie who has never had KDE working. I'm getting pissed with all these errors, I thought running kde would be simple enough.

Well I got a new Cygart DLL. I am still having trouble connecting to the X server and the DCOP. I am just trying to run this locally on my Machine. I got KDE to launch by starting X and launching Konsole and Kdesktop, but it usually crashes.
