This sounds similar to a problem I was having where emacs would crash on startup if my HOME environment variable wasn't set. Running from cygwin would be fine since that sets HOME. For various reasons I don't want to set HOME globally on my machine, so I start emacs with a simple runemacs.bat that looks like this: set HOME=c:/ runemacs %* That's a workaround at least - it'd be nice if I didn't need to do that!
