Don't call it Windoze. if you don't like Microsoft Windows , don't use
it. If your company requires you use Microsoft products, then choose
to work for companies that don't.

I don't know what's your problem. Why are you mucking with emacs
setup? If you want emacs 23, do a fresh install, or compile. If you
need your setup to still fuction, your elisp code should be written in
a portable way, and you simply just copy them to your new emacs
install. Dont think you hot and mix and match components and libs and
complain. If you run into some elisp incompatibilties introduced in
emacs 23, you need to tell what are the errors, or which function
coughed.

amazing, Lin Dozers always tech geek and gets nowhere.

Cheers :)
