SLIME + Windows 7 + XEmacs + CLISP 2.48 +/- quicklisp = Mission Impossible

Please forgive me for posting what might be a very common request for help, and please let me know if this is this is the wrong newsgroup for doing so. And yes, I'm sure this works great on LINUX and my issues are with the quality of the windows port.

I've carefully read several web page "guides", searched the Internet, and reviewed the posts in this group -- I just can't get SLIME to work! I'm about 12 hours into trying and not making any progress.

The only way is to use Lispbox (http://common-lisp.net/project/lispbox/) which works fine, but I've heard this is an unsupported project which concerns me. So I thought CLISP would be a better approach for the long term.

As to getting SLIME working with CLISP 2.48 I've tried everything, multiple approaches, conflicting approachs, logical and illogical approaches, with and without quicklisp, with EMACS and XEmacs, different LISP versions. NOTHING seems to work!!!

Is there any "fool proof" (I must be the fool) guide to accomplishing this that actually works end-to-end? I'm about to throw in the towel and never use SLIME again on Windows. Why isn't there a simple installer -- argh!!!

Thanks, Kelly
