I just tried in a Windows 7 Virtual Machine. I have Emacs 23.2 installed.
I do C-<spc>, and it works.
I do C-<shift>-2 (aka C-@), and it works as well. (On your keyboard, @ might be somewhere other than <shift>-2)
Is your keyboard the same as what Windows think is your keyboard. I don't think I've ever seen C-@ not working while using emacs.
As a last resort you could:
(global-set-key "C-cm" 'set-mark)

Subject: Antwort: Re: C-SPC does not work
Thank you all for your response. To answer
your questions:
1. When typing C-SPC and then C-h l
Emacs doesn`t show the C-SPC keypress in the buffer, but "C-h l"
2. Also C-@ does not work to mark text
3. I also downloaded the newest official
windows release from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/.
But also in this distribution the problem is still the same.
Any further comments?
Cheers,
TIM

I don't know who Vincent Goulet is, is this version the same as the
official pre-compiled GNU Emacs for Windows that can be found at:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/
