What does it say exactly?

It would be great if you could run Emacs with a debugger, produce a
backtrace and send that to the Emacs pretest bug list by using `M-x
report-emacs-bug RET'.  There are some hints on using a debugger in
the file etc/DEBUG.  I'm afraid that without such a backtrace it is
almost impossible to tell what the cause of the crash is.

The canonical way to change the viewing command is to change the
variable `TeX-output-view-style'.  An easy way to get a more
Windows-friendly setup of AUCTeX is putting the line
(require 'tex-site)
into your init file.
