Re: [h-e-w] Initialization of EmacsW32 under xp sp2

[Lennart Borgman]

When you use the new gnuclient that comes with EmacsW32 and uses the 
setup that is done there you do not have to start gnuserv yourself in 
your .emacs file. That is instead done by the -s argument. Both Emacs 
and gnuserv will be started.

Do you load gnuserv.el yourself in .emacs? If so please remove it.

A possible cause of the error you get is a timeout. Gnuclientw.exe waits 
60 seconds for the response from gnuserv. If it takes longer time than 
that to start Emacs + gnuclient then there will be a timeout. However 
after that Emacs + gnuclient should still work as expected.

Eli N, if you do not succeed then try removing your .emacs temporarily 
and see if it works then.
