I just tried in a Windows 7 Virtual Machine.  I have Emacs 23.2 installed. I do C-, and it works. I do C--2 (aka C-@), and it works as well. (On your keyboard, @ might be somewhere other than -2) Is your keyboard the same as what Windows think is your keyboard.  I don't think I've ever seen C-@ not working while using emacs. As a last resort you could: (global-set-key "C-cm" 'set-mark) >________________________________ >From: "haering-list@basf.com" >To: lists@groll.co.za >Cc: help-gnu-emacs ; help-gnu-emacs-bounces+haering-list=basf.com@gnu.org >Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2011 3:10:44 AM >Subject: Antwort: Re: C-SPC does not work > > >Thank you all for your response.

I also downloaded the newest official windows release from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/.
