cal-html was only added in Emacs 22, so I suspect your recollection is faulty.

I know. I am demonstrating that with no .emacs file and no diary file, I
cannot reproduce your problem. So it's probably due to some customization.

Please give a minimal complete example starting from emacs -Q (I don't
know how you do this on MS Windows) that shows the problem with M-x diary.

It may also help to do M-x toggle-debug-on-error and include the
resulting backtrace.
