Hi Eli, Actually, it seems like that my anti-virus might be the problem -- I would suppose. I looked in the directory " c:/Users/muhanned.maayeh/AppData/Roaming/.emacs.d/server'" and I did not find any file in this location. Looks like I will need to set an exception in my anti-virus and reinstall again to be sure everything is not clobbered.

Please tell who is the owner of that directory. I'm guessing that it's the Administrators group, but maybe Windows 7 has other surprises up its sleeve.
