Hi,
Look at this link. It explains how to install miktex, emacs, auctex etc
for windows.
I found it quite useful. I used the instructions to install miktex and
emacs+auctex.
There is also a windows port of Ispell.
There is no better combination for tex than emacs+auctex.
(I think I am preaching to the converted here!)

If you like you can also go in for texshell which is freeware. It is
fairly
easy to use though it doesn't have as many features as texniccenter. Of
course you need to download miktex separately. Take a look at the
miktex
site www.miktex.org for some more useful links. In the page
http://www.miktex.org/links.html
there is a link to list of texshells for windows. Some are free, some
aren't.
Venkataraman.
