I had exactly this problem when I tried using the preview pull-down menu 
on documents in which I had not put

\usepackage[options]{preview}

Strangely enough,  C-c C-p C-d gave me a preview some of the time in 
these documents without crashing Emacs.  When I pasted in the usepackage 
declaration from circ.tex, preview worked better and I could use the 
pull-down menu without crashing Emacs.  (Preview 0.9,  AUCTeX 11.55,  
GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) (nqmacs)).
