.emacs file in windows XP

[Senthil]

i have emacs21.3 installed in my windowsXP system.
i obtained the tar ball and just unzipped it to install emacs.
My .emacs file contains some minimal settings like
changing the background colour, foreground color etc.
But emacs doesnot load with those options and does not
report any error also .what should i do for emacs to load
with the options specified in .emacs
