PuTTY can be considered an xterm emulation. So it might help to put
into your ~/.profile file something like
TERM=`tset - -Q`
export TERM
tset tries to determine in which terminal emulation it is running.
This is recorded in the TERM environment variable. GNU Emacs uses
this to determine whether it can run in this environment.
If this fails, then set in ~/.profile TERM to xterm or xterm-color
and export the variable when logged in via ssh/PuTTY.
