Hi
I am running emacs 23.3.1 on Windows 7. Using the standard command line I
have tab auto-completion but this doesn't work if in emacs I use M-x shell.
Is this normal? do I need to configure something in the emacs config file?

It works for me, so what you see is not "normal".
Does it work for you in "emacs -Q"? If it does, then there's
something in your .emacs that causes the trouble.

To take advantage of Emacs's text processing power, M-x shell RET has to
make some trade-offs. This includes no real support of ncurses or no
support for native (bash) completion.
To get a real interactive terminal, try M-x term RET. Other than that,
you could try to write your own completion function in Elisp. Check
`shell-dynamic-complete-functions'.
