 the front of your PATH environment variable.
 
+*** When Emacs compiled with DJGPP runs on Windows 2000 and later, it cannot

+(The telltale sign is the "~USER" part at the end of the directory
+Emacs complains about, where USER is your username or the literal
+string "dosuser", which is the default username set up by the DJGPP
+startup file DJGPP.ENV.)
+
+This happens when the functions `user-login-name' and
+`user-real-login-name' return different strings for your username as
+Emacs sees it.  To correct this, make sure both USER and USERNAME
+environment variables are set to the same value.  Windows 2000 and
+later sets USERNAME, so if you want to keep that, make sure USER is
+set to the same value.  If you don't want to set USER globally, you
+can do it in the [emacs] section of your DJGPP.ENV file.
