Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `c:/Users/ADMIN/AppData/Roaming/.emacs':
File error: Cannot open load file, no such file or directory, mic-paren
mic-paren is available as can be seen from the load paths(elided)

With the above, I don't know why it doesn't load. the files in the
directory are
mic-paren-autoloads.el
mic-paren-pkg.el
mic-paren-pkg.elc
mic-paren.el
mic-paren.elc

Sorry, wasn't clear. I meant, it happens for specific packages and
not that the same packages fails sometimes and loads sometimes.
