IIRC, texmaker is a Windows Kile-like editor.
There are versions of Emacs out there that are precompiled with AUCTeX
and preview-latex (actually, one and the same thing in the latest
version). I have it running under Windows XP SP2 and it works quite well
as long as I don't try to preview in PDFLaTeX mode. Installation was
easy, I just had to run an executable. In fact I am liking the
Emacs-AUCTeX-preview-latex combination so much that I have been working
on it exclusively lately, even though about a year ago I thought I would
never need anything but Lyx (I am a LaTeX user for many years, though,
and know quite a few of the commands I need---Lyx is perfect for those
who don't).
To get the precompiled Emacs (I have 22.0.50) with AUCTeX (I have 11.81,
but 11.82 is ready, I believe) you can Google emacs+auctex-w32. I just
did it, and found this mirror:

Hope this helps.
To correct myself, installation is even easier. I just had to unzip a
directory, and then emacs runs by executing "runemacs" from the bin
subdirectory of that directory.
