It looks like Emacs found his .emacs fine, and was loading it when the error
occurred (backtrace below). The error was that it couldn't find the `auto-show'
library:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "no
such file or directory" "auto-show")
require(auto-show)
eval-buffer(#<buffer *load*> nil "z:/.emacs" nil t) ; Reading at
buffer position 734
load-with-code-conversion("z:/.emacs" "z:/.emacs" t t)
load("~/.emacs" t t)
