The error message is here:
<----
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "The directory ~/.emacs.d/server is unsafe")
  signal(error ("The directory ~/.emacs.d/server is unsafe"))
  error("The directory %s is unsafe" "~/.emacs.d/server")
  server-ensure-safe-dir("~/.emacs.d/server/")
  server-start(nil)
  call-interactively(server-start t nil)
  execute-extended-command(nil)
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)
<----
emacs version: GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2008-09-18
on LENNART-69DE564

I don't think it's permission's issue, any advice?
Thank you.

It's a permissions, or ownership, issue.

I have removed that server dir then create one by hand, still the issue.

This is a known bug in Emacs on ms windows. I think Eli is working on this.

A workaround is to comment out this line in
server-ensure-safe-dir in server.el:

             ;; Fix-me: This test does not work on w32
             ;;(eql (nth 2 attrs) (user-uid))

Remember to byte compile server.el after the change.

Are you a member of the local Administrators group on this machine?

Then that's indeed a known bug that I hope will be solved before Emacs
23 is released.
