Hi,

I have no problem with my (X)Emacs and therefore can't reproduce the

...and you hopefully have installed all dependent packages xemacs21-*
etc. and are not using some strange initialisation file?

So try to start `xemacs -vanilla' and look if the error still occurs,
try to open via the menubar, try `M-x find-file', try open other files
triggering other modes with syntax highlighting etc. Maybe that can
give a clue to what's wrong.
