Hello,
Running Windows Vista 64 bit, service pack 1
GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.0.6001)
I get the above error message in my *Messages* buffer on startup. Here
is the version I get when I run "runemacs.exe --debug-init":
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Non-hex digit used for Unicode escape")
eval-buffer(#<buffer *load*> nil
"c:/Users/Charles/.emacs.d/init.el" nil t) ; Reading at buffer
position 46
load-with-code-conversion("c:/Users/Charles/.emacs.d/init.el"
"c:/Users/Charles/.emacs.d/init.el" t t)
load("c:/Users/Charles/.emacs.d/init" t t)
#[nil "\bพ
Contents of c:/Users/Charles/.emacs.d/init.el
(server-start)
(setq default-directory "C:\Users\Charles")
(setq inhibit-startup-message t)
(fset 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)
(setq make-backup-files nil)
Thank you for your time.
Regards,

It's the line (setq default-directory "C:\Users\Charles") thats
causing the problem. (cd "C:\Users\Charles") raised the same error
too.

You have to escape backslashes in strings like this:
(cd "C:\\Users\\Charles")
See (info "(emacs) Init Syntax") for some more hints.

Anselm
