If it were me at this point, I would start sprinkling debug statements
around to try to find out more info. I would do this with Alastair's
hello.lisp since it is such a small amount of code to work with.
Check that REGISTERCLASSEX is not returning zero, and that
CREATEWINDOW is returning a non-null foreign pointer. Check
that his WINDOW-PROCEDURE function is getting called,
and print out the argument values, so that you can see what
events get processed.

If those debug statements indicate everything is succeeding,
but you still don't see any window, then I would suggest installing
a Spy utility (I use Winspector Spy) so that you can check whether
the window is getting created but not being made visible. Alastair's
window classname is "hello".

Is it safe to assume that you don't have any desktop mods or
virtual desktops or anything of that sort?
