Eli Zaretskii, I think to fix the problem ... not me ;-) You have given the solution, stackoverflow also. It was a question of wording. W.K.R. Reutefleut in emacswiki.org describes the procedure:
"Waiting for Emacs server to start" is ownership problem on ~/.emacs.d/server The problem is the ownership of the directory ~/.emacs.d/server when you also have Administrators rights on your account. Create the directory ~/.emacs.d/server and set the owner of this directory to your login name and the problem is gone. As I have a Dutch version of Windows 7 I dont know the English terms exactly but heres the procedure: Click R-mouse on ~/.emacs.d/server and select Properties (last item in menu). From Properties select the Tab Security and then select the button Advanced. Then select the Tab Owner and change the owner from Administrators (<your-pc-name>\Administrators) into <your-login-name> (<your-pc-name>\<your-login-name>. Check the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects to ensure that subdirectories also have their ownership changed. Now the server code will accept this directory as secure because you are the owner. Hope this helps for all you guys, it solved the problem for me anyway. W.K.R. Reutefleut He said <<select the Tab "Owner" and change the owner>> I tried to change the owners in the Tab "security" by deleting the Administrators group: that was my error. Now I moved the directory .emacs.d in C:/ and the file .emacs also. The "unsafe" message is not display anymore. Eli, I have a new problem: I associated the .erl files (Erlang) with emacs.exe When I double-click an erlang file, an empty buffer is created in emacs. Shall I open a new thread ? Once again, Thank you very much.

No one suggested you get rid of it. Emacs >with a .emacs file is heresy. ========================================
