Don’t use Emacsen older than 21.3 on X11-based systems. On most other systems, you’ll need at least Emacs 22.1 or one of the developer versions leading up to it. Details can be found in (auctex)Prerequisites section ‘Prerequisites’ in the AUCTeX manual.
For Emacs 21, no image support is available in Emacs under Windows. Without images, preview-latex is useless. The current CVS version of Emacs available from http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs now supports images including the PNG format, so Emacs 22 should work out of the box once it is released. Precompiled versions are available from http://crasseux.com/emacs and http://nqmacs.sf.net.
For detailed installation instructions for Windows, see (auctex)Installation under MS Windows section ‘Installation under MS Windows’ in the AUCTeX manual.
There is are two larger problems known with older XEmacs releases. One leads to seriously mispositioned baselines and previews hanging far above other text on the same line. This should be fixed as of XEmacs-21.4.9.
The other core bug causes a huge delay when XEmacs’s idea of the state of processes (like ghostscript) is wrong, and can lead to nasty spurious error messages. It should be fixed in version 21.4.8.
Previews will only remain from one session to the next if you have version 1.81 or above of the ‘edit-utils’ package, first released in the 2002-03-12 sumo tarball.
