Since you mention PuTTY, is the keyfile in PuTTY format (*.ppk)?
Those will not work with X2GoClient directly.  You will either have to
export the key to OpenSSH format, or run pageant.exe from the PuTTY
suite, load the *.ppk keyfile there, and tell X2GoClient in the session
preferences "Try auto login ...", BUT, leave the path/file name field
for the key file EMPTY (as pageant will be handling the key).

If you are using an OpenSSH formatted keyfile, my guess would be that
it's a permission issue.  In that case, please install the debug version
of X2GoClient for Windows, and run it with --debug and redirect all
output (STOUT *and* STDERR) to a logfile, so we can take a closer look
at what's going on.

Kind Regards,
