You need to run (start-environment) first. It's described here:

http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/actr6/QuickStart.txt

I'm attaching what I have at the top of a model .lisp file, ready to  
execute from within Aquamacs or Emacs and SLIME. That way don't have  
to do all the steps by hand. (Btw, Start Environment is more difficult  
to quickly start via keyboard because it's not called "ACT-R  
Environment.app", like other applications.)
You'll have to tweak the code to do things right in your environment  
(i.e. on Windows) of course.

Hope that helps!
