help with emacs

[Chris Irish]

Hi, I've been using emacs for a few months now on my mac with no problems.  
However, I just installed emacs for windows on a new PC of mine and it's 
acting strange.  It doesn't seem to recognize when I write Python code.  I 
have text highlighting on but it doesn't register keywords.  When I save a 
file it calls it a python file when I look at it in the folder but in the 
buffer it calls it a fundamental file instead.  Also when I write html I can 
make up tags and it will highlight the text like it was a real tag.  For 
example <zzzzzzzz>, emacs would highlight all the z's.  Do I need to install 
something else to get the correct functionality?  Any help would be greatly 
appreciated, till then I guess I'll keep using my mac.  If you want you can 
respoond directly to my email.....supairish@hotmail.com       thanks  Chris
