I don't know the answer to your question, but using a four year old version
of emacs can't possibly help.

I'd start by installing 21.3, available from:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-21.3a-fullbin-i386.tar.gz

I have searched the list and found no answer to this query.

I have just installed emacs on my Windows partition

GNU Emacs 20.7.1 (i386-*-windows98.1998)
 of Tue Jun 13 2000 on buffy

I do 'M-x shell' and I get 
Spawning child process: invalid argument

Does anyone know what might be causing this?

I have removed my _emacs file, and this gives the same behaviour i.e. as it 
is out-of-the-box. Of course this is stopping all other shell apps from
working 
(no auctex).

Thanks in advance,
Christopher
