Hi Since you're working with XP, I can recommend Lisp Cabinet from http://lispcabinet.sourceforge.net/ . It has a windows istaller and works out of the box. An additional advantage may be the availability of various lisp implementations parallel to clojure. Didn't get that configured in several attempts before.
I saw on the website that there was an update, which I have not tried, but used its predecessor a few month ago after I got frustrated with manual installing emacs, slime, swank and whatnot and something didn't work everytime. It was the best installation/configuration so far. Since then I switched over to ubuntu, and I it seems that despite emacsW32 on dos, emacs fits more naturally on a unix based system.
