I am running Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

Yes, the "Command Prompt" is cmd.exe

The emacsclient.exe from:

GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2009-11-03 on LENNART-69DE564 
(patched)


runs just fine on the W32 emacs.exe binary version:

In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
 from trunk 2011-02-16 on LENNART-69DE564 (patched)
