So either your .emacs file is trying to load auto-save, which is an
error.

For a start search your .emacs for the string auto-save.

If that fails go to the *Message* buffer and see what files were loaded
before the error occurred.  If any of those are yours, check them for
auto-save.

If that fails, post your .emacs if not terribly long or give a URL where
we can find it.
