Strange, I have never seen this. But did you remove everything about 
gnuserv from your startup files (.emacs etc)? If you use the EmacsW32 
setup then this starts Emacs and gnuserv automatically for you when you 
click a file for example. If you have not removed everything about 
gnuserv, could you please try that?

(I guess you downloaded Emacs-22 CvsP060608-EmacsW32-1.03.exe?)
