It should not be necessary to add the `preview' subdirectory to
`load-path' if you installed AUCTeX correctly.  Since preview-latex.el
is still in the `preview' subdirectory, I presume you did not run `make
install' as described in the installation instructions of AUCTeX.  If
you ignore something like that, you have to be prepared that things go
wrong.

I'd try to disable the lines in your init file you've shown above, then
restart Emacs and check if the problem is gone.  If not, start Emacs
with the --debug-init command line switch in order to check if there is
something else in your init file leading to an error.
