Hi,

I don't seem to have a problem under Win8.1 (but honnestly, Win7 shouldn't
make any difference).
I'm using Chrome.
I have

;; Character encodings default to utf-8.
(set-language-environment "UTF-8")
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-language-environment 'utf-8)
(set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8)
(set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-selection-coding-system 'utf-8)
;; MS Windows clipboard is UTF-16LE
(set-clipboard-coding-system 'utf-16le-dos)

in my emacs init files.

Try with these settings, and see if it still fails (restart emacs).
If it fails only on some web pages, please post a link.
