Document Classes ⇒ Installing the Beamer class, please HELP.

[helllo]

Hi, thanks again for the reply.
I put the option install-on-the-fly as "yes", but the problem is still the same.
I tried to do a full installation but it didn't work (problem with my internet connection?), they said on the website that it'll take hours to download anyway, which I don't really have at the moment.

I'm now officially frustrated (since I'm trying to get this working since Friday), and I've got that important presentation to do for tomorrow.

Is there anything else you would advice ? (using another TeX system which would be quick to install or using something different from Beamer to do my presentation ? I know I could use power point but I cannot put maths formulas in it so ...)

If there is no other options I guess I'll have to use chalk board : thing that I really wanted to avoid (my hand writting is bad, I'm very stressed generally, I'll probably forget what I'm supposed to be doing/writting etc.)

Then install the class manually with the help of the package manager. I wonder why you didn't try this by now if it is so urgent.

Hi,
what do you exactly mean by "install the class manually with the help of the package manager" ? how do I do this ?
(Sorry I know I'm very bad with this )

Ok I think I understand, it is explained here :
http://docs.miktex.org/manual/pkgmgt.html

I'm going to try this.

Hi,
I've done this to get the "natbib" file and it worked !
So I was able to run my old LateX files.
Then I did the same to get beamer and it kind of worked :
It worked for two samples I downloaded for internet but for one of them (the longest one), it started downloading something but then it said :
LateX error : File "tcilatex.tex" not found.
So I tried to get it using the package manager as I did earlier but it didn't work: I couldn't find it !
Any idea to how to fix this ?

Also, in the samples that worked : one of them is good the other one looks a bit "strange" I mean the writting of the letters is a bit odd. this happens to my old files too. Is this because of LateX or because of Adobe ?
I had adobe 8 but then downloaded the latest one (version 9) just now. Does it have any link with this ?

Thanks !

Give a link to the source of those samples. As far as I know the »tcilatex.tex« belongs to Scientific Word (or Workplace?). If you don't use this, you won't need the concerned file.

Hi,
I'll give the link when i find it. but it's not important if I don't need tcilatex.tex
Is there a good sample beamer presentation I could use ?
Thanks.
