Also I still have a three year old emacs-20.7 version on my box, I
remember that with subprocesses there was some problems. You might try
some other shells as tcsh and bash. The FAQ on

  http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html

has some sections about this. But it is still a little bit cumbersome.

It looks that you have access to the Internet so you might get the
latest version of emacs from here (the official side was cracked and
the binaries are still not there):
