on windows, i believe the file is called _emacs, not .emacs (at least, this is the case on my windows xp machine)

My crystal ball says you meant the `.emacs' file.  Windows does allow
such file names, but some Windows programs, like the Explorer, don't
like them.  One way to rename the file is to start the Command Prompt,
then go to the correct directory, and type "ren foo .emacs" (replace
"foo" with the actual name of the file).

Alternatively, start Emacs, then type "C-x C-f ~/.emacs RET", and then
paste whatever contents you want there, and save the file.
