Is your installation still running an old .emacs? Add PATHTOEMACSBIN
(c:\dir\dir\emacsdir\bin) to your path and then try Start > Run >
runemacs.exe -Q
When you unzipped the binaries, did you keep all the explicit paths?
Maybe running addpm.exe will let xp know about Emacs but if it doesn't
work you may have to edit the registry to get rid of references to Emacs.
Where are the error reporting options directed? Emacsbugs? MS?
