Unless you want to build Maxima from source, you don't need to
install Common Lisp. Did you use the self-contained maxima-5.9.2.exe
from

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4933

or did you download something else? We've had reports
that some firewalls interfere with running Maxima
under windows. Might that be the problem?
