Hi Adam, At work I run org-mode from a git repository on Windows XP. I never compile my org-mode files anymore. My git repository lives in ~/git/org-mode/ with the .el files in ~/git/org-mode/lisp I have the following setup in my ~/.emacs ,----[ .emacs ] | (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/git/org-mode/lisp")) | (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\|txt\\)$" . org-mode)) | (require 'org-install) `---- Make sure your org-mode files are found first in your load-path so that you load the version you want and not some other version provided by Emacs. Your load-path should point to the directory your .el files are in. I would just unzip the entire 6.36c zip file without moving anything from their default locations and point your load-path at the lisp subdirectory. GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2010-05-08 on G41R2F1 Org-mode version 6.36trans (release_6.36.630.gbca27) HTH, Bernt
