Re: Problem with MS Windows-based Installation

I'm using AUCTeX on Windows XP and also in multifile case.  It works fine 
here.

Are you using both tex-mik and tex-site?  If not, try to put the following 
sentences in your .emacs.  I can access Yap from main file or sub files.

;; tex-mik is needed for using yap to preview dvi file
(require 'tex-mik)
(load "tex-site")

Good luck.

BTW: I'm using AUCTeX 11.55
                         MikTeX 2.4
                         CVS Emacs 21.3.50.1
                         Windows XP.
