What happens if you remove the file entirely, or rename it?

I said above that I renamed .emacs and also .emacs.d. but it did not help.
 

Where on your filesystem do you keep your .emacs, i.e. what is its
full Windows file name?

C:/Users/testuser448/.emacs. I set HOME=C:/Users/testuser448 and I have
confirmed using Process Monitor from SysInternals that emacs finds it there
when HOME is set, and did not find it when I renamed it. Alternative locations
appear to be C:/ and %APPDATA%, where .emacs does not exist.

Alternatively if you give a command that will display a message I can
put it in .emacs.

If I set HOME=<blank>, it does not make a difference.

For what it is worth, the problem does not occur on my Windows XP
virtual machine, which never had emacs on it before. I am on Windows 8.1.

In my initial message, I said that if I run emacs.exe within gdb, gdb says that
emacs exited with code 03. Do you know what that means?
