I am running Emacs on Windows, and I have a similar problem with org-mode  
6.24b.

My *Messages* gives me this

Preparing diary...done
Loading cl-macs...done
Loading cl-seq...done
Formatting...  0%
Loading ps-mule...done

ps-e-color-values: Wrong type argument: stringp, ("blue" :weight bold)

Hope anyone can help. An pdf from agenda view would give a good kick in

to they guys in the office who frowns upon planning done elsewhere than MS  
Projects
and Outlook :P
