Sorry, this was a typo. Of course emacs and its site-start directory are in q:\tools \emacs-22.1. currently I use a .emacs that contains (load-library "q:/tools/emacs-22.1/site-lisp/site-start.el") which works. Starting a command prompt (M-! start cmd) and entering SET EMACSLOADPATH gives: EMACSLOADPATH=Q:/TOOLS/emacs-22.1/site-lisp;Q:/TOOLS/emacs-22.1/../ site-lisp;Q:/TOOLS/emacs-22.1/lisp;Q:/TOOLS/emacs-22.1/leim Copying and pasting Q:/TOOLS/emacs-22.1/site-lisp behind a C-x C-f command goes to the correct location and I can choose site-lisp.el. same with a locally installed emacs: M-! start CMD SET EMACSLOADPATH gives c:\emacs-22.1>set EMACSLOADPATH EMACSLOADPATH=C:/emacs-22.1/site-lisp;C:/emacs-22.1/../site-lisp;C:/ emacs-22.1/l isp;C:/emacs-22.1/leim c:\emacs-22.1>dir C:\emacs-22.1\site-lisp Volume in Laufwerk C: hat keine Bezeichnung. Volumeseriennummer: D49D-5134 Verzeichnis von C:\emacs-22.1\site-lisp 10.12.2007 08:29 . 10.12.2007 08:29 .. 10.12.2007 08:29 531 site_start.el To be sure I also renamed site_start.el to site-start.el, but no success. So it is still unclear why it doesn't work. Is there a problem with '/' vs. '\' ?? Must emacs be installed (by addpm.exe) with administrator privileges? Guenter
