If you are invoking Emacs from a desktop shortcut, set the starting
directory via the Property sheets of that shortcut.

Type "C-x C-f ~/.emacs RET".  This should work.  The error message
about aspell means that somehow you start the speller for Lisp files,
which is the reason for your apparent inability to visit .emacs.
You need to solve that problem first.
