[h-e-w] modeline and require problems

Hi,
I just installed v21 (GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.0.2195) of
2001-10-22 on buffy)on a Windows 2000 box after being away from emacs
for a number of months.
I now have at least two startup problems.
1.  my default frame is defined as follows:
   (setq default-frame-alist
              '((top . 5) (left . 5)
                (width . 85) (height . 42)
                (cursor-color . "gold")
                (cursor-type . box)
                (foreground-color . "navy")
                (background-color . "ivory")
                (font .
"-*-Terminal-normal-r-*-*-15-90-120-120-c-80-ascii-*")))

The modeline now has a background of navy blue (as expected), but the
foreground is black, making the letters virtually invisible.  Doesn't
the "reverse video" algorithm use the frame background color as
foreground color in the modeline?

2. My .emacs file calls a file named my-nt-init.el on startup , using

(require 'my-nt-init.el)

When I do a normal startup I get the following message:
        error: "Required feature my-nt-init.el was not provided"
When I start with --debug-init I get the following elaboration:
        Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Required feature
my-nt-init.el was not provided")
          require(my-nt-init\.el)
         eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil "~/.emacs" nil t)
         load-with-code-conversion("c:/Documents and
Settings/manne/.emacs" "~/.emacs" t t)
        load("~/.emacs" t t)
        #[nil ",T

When I start with -q, I can evaluate my .emacs line by line, and get a
similar result.
However, when I evaluate the my-nt-init.el file, there is no problem.  I
thought that there might be a problem because of spaces in the path
name, but my-nt-init.el requires other files, and there seems to be no
problem there.

Thanks for any hints.
