That is weird that any site offering binaries for versions newer than
20.7 seem to be down. I just tried it myself. Is this the result of
some organized vi zealots' terrorist campaign? Maybe RMS doesn't want
to make emacs available to windows users anymore, for ethical reasons? Either way, you are in luck Glen, and I proudly respond to you on-list!
I happen to have the file emacs-21.3-fullbin-i386.tar.gz sitting on my
harddrive. One second please...OK, you can now download it from here:

Everything seems to be working fine except for one thing. I throw a pretty simple .emacs file into C:\ but it never seems to evaluate it. All I really need is to have it turn on syntax highlighting, paren mode, and active region highlighting. Any ideas?
Boy, you are testing me here. I haven't actually /used/ emacs under
windows much. It looks like I have a c:\.emacs file that is getting
used just fine. It's the exact same one I use in Linux, so I don't
think there is anything special I did for windows, except fix a path to
my downloaded elisp stuff. You might try starting it from the command
line with the --debug-init option...I think you do runemacs.exe
--debug-init. I'm not sure.
Hope some of that helps,
I can suggest that you create a "HOME" variable on your windows machine so that it will detect your .emacs file (Right click My computer>Properties>Advanced tab> Environment variables ). Or another method works with emacs20.7 for windows is to stick the .emacs file in the root of the install directory itself. This is the way I've installed it quite a number of times.
