In case you don't already know, you can use C-@ to set mark. There are times when you just can't get C-<space> to work. C-@ is not as ergonomic, but it works :-) Saved me back in the days of crappy terminals.

Subject: C-SPC does not work
Hello list,
I got a new PC in my office and switched
(the first time for me) to Windows 7. I installed the latest ready-to-use
Emacs for windows form Vincent Goulet (GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601)).
Everything works fine except from one function:
I can not mark any text. C-SPC does not work.
Is there anybody with the same problem or
can please somebody give me a hint how I can fix the problem.
Thanks a lot.
TIM
