In the .emacs file, insert

Run this function and receive the following error message:

Wrong number of arguments: (lambda nil "Select the previous window."
(interactive) ((other-window) -1)), 3

I cannot reproduce this.  Does this happen for you in "emacs -Q", if
you evaluate the definition of my-previous-window in the *scratch*
buffer?  If it works then, you should look into your .emacs for the
reason of the error.

Thank you for the pointer. This does not happen in your method.

Furthermore, I could not duplicate the problem on my windows machine.

Then I guess some of the init files loaded on the system where you
have the problems redefines or advises other-window in some way.  You
need to find that redefinition and fix it.
