Rename c:\.emacs to something else.  Start Emacs and type:

  C-x C-f ~/.emacs RET

It will probably say "New file."  That's OK.  Now visit you previous
.emacs, now renamed to whatever you renamed it, and copy its entire
contents into the new ~/.emacs.  Type "C-x C-s".  Now Bob's your
uncle!  Restart Emacs, and you can safely forget about this.
