Thank you all for your response. To answer your questions: 1. When typing C-SPC and then C-h l Emacs doesn`t show the C-SPC keypress in the buffer, but "C-h l" 2. Also C-@ does not work to mark text 3. I also downloaded the newest official windows release from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/. But also in this distribution the problem is still the same. Any further comments?

I don't know who Vincent Goulet is, is this version the same as the official pre-compiled GNU Emacs for Windows that can be found at: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/ Cheers, Jonathan -- jjg: Jonathan J.
