The first thing you need to do is obtain the "latest" X-Win32 software.  

1. Go to https://charon.ece.cornell.edu and click on the link for X-Win32.   
2. Copy the license string (it's the really long lines of random characters)
3. Click on the link to "Vendor"
4. Paste in the the licsense
5. Download one of the clients.   I recommend a separate PuTTY installation, so choose the one without SSH.  However, if you feel you will want to try more advanced settings, pick the one with SSH.  This guide will presume you went with the former.

Installing X-Win32

Running X-win32

1. Start "X-Win32 2010", not X-config from your Windows Start menu, it will likely launch X-Config as well, but that is for advance users
2. You may get a Windows Security Alert or something from your firewall package (I'm using Windows Security Essentials to create the images).   Allow Access Image Added

• You should now paste in the license key you copied from https://charon.ece.cornell.edu.  If you rebooted or copied something else in the meantime, you'll have to go back to that server and copy it again.
