Type: C-h v TeX-output-view-style.

You should see a description of the variable "TeX-output-view-style", 
the option to customise it and its current value, which I guess will 
have a lot of xdvi's in it. Hit enter when you're over the "customize" of:

"You can customize this variable."

In the next screen you can amend the commands to fit to your system. 
Make sure the applications you use are in your PATH.

There may be an easier way of doing this if your using MikTeX or fpTeX 
on your system (if not you can ignore this). See point 9. of the 
INSTALL.windows file and the answer from Ciaran Taylor on the thread 
yesterday "Problem with MS Windows-based Installation."

Hope that something here helps!
