i have this defined in my emacs:
(global-set-key (kbd "H-*") "°")
which inserts a degree character when Hyper + Shift + 8 is pressed.
works fine in OS X, but on Windows Vista + emacsW32, it gives this
error:
“After 0 kbd macro iterations: Keyboard macro terminated by a command
ringing the bell”
any idea?
GNU Emacs 23.0.94.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.0.6001) of 2009-05-28 on
LENNART-69DE564 (patched)
Thanks.

Works ok here (win2000 and Emacs w32 22.3) Not Lennart's patch though.
Ascii control character 7 not 8 is BEL so I suppose the macro issues a
^G. I have no idea why Emacs 23 or Vista would act differently in this
context.

This is an unknown territory for me. Could be a bug in Emacs+EmacsW32.
Please try the unpatched version and see if it works there.
