LaTeX.org

Meh. I reinstalled everything. Adobe still won't open the document. But YAP will. Something is being created.

Should I just give up on ever having Adobe PDFs?

Actually did look for the blasted "complete topic" button or some such. I'm not new to help-forums like this. I then decided to leave it open in case I had trouble with the protex installation I'm going to try now. It seems like quite a few people have trouble viewing outputs.

But thanks for the ...

Sigh. I was afraid of that. Well thanks for all your help guys! I appreciate it!

Hrm. I'm having a hard time finding the .log files.
What is the typical place they are located? (I realize every computer is different.)
But the dialog box that shows the compilation on progress does mention some interesting things I just noticed. It gives these messages:

initexmf.exe: no formats ...

I have the code listed in the first step.
I go to Select Output Profiles and choose: Latex => PDF(Sumatra)
I then go to the Build menu.
I select Build Output. It works fine, no error messages or anything.
I then select View Ouput.
Sumatra is launched, but then I get that error message, and Sumatra ...

I do not know what the log file is, but this message pops up when I try to compile it.

[ForwardSearch("%bm.pdf","%Wc","%|,0,0,1)]
Cannot execute the command.

Any ideas as to what that might mean?

Ah. Well no, there are no pdf files being created... That's odd. Or at least I can't find any where there should be.

Does this mean I've defined some incorrect paths?

How do I check that? I've defined the output to be a pdf...is there anything beyond that?

DVI? I thought Sumatra was a pdf thingy?

And yes, I make sure to include the 32-bit address in the paths that need them.

*sigh* I still have that error even when I replace my paths with yours...

Thanks for trying though. I appreciate it.
