Your ~/.emacs file does something that Emacs cannot do, at least not n Windows. > > What should the definition of x-send-client-message be? There's no such function in the Windows version of Emacs. This function belongs to DND (Drag-n-drop) implementation on X, but not on Windows. If your ~/.emacs tries to call it, you need to condition that call on system-type not being 'windows-nt'. > how did you install Emacs ? > > Can you find the executable runemacs.exe somewhere ? > > What happens when you run it ?
