Graphics don't appear in new Windows 7

Post by Tori »

This exact code worked and showed the graphic when I ran this in TeXnicCenter on my old computer Windows XP. Now when I run this in TeXnicCenter in my new computer (Windows 7 64 bit) the graphics will not work. (I've also tried .jpeg, .png, and .gif, which also do not work either.)


\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}

\includegraphics{schedule.png}

\end{document}



Error:
!Unknown graphics extension .bmp

(If there's a better program latex I could use for Windows 7 64 bit, please let me know. I just want my graphics to work!)

Hi Tori,

welcome to the board!
LaTeX doesn't support bmp format. The error message showed "!Unknown graphics extension .bmp". With pdfLaTeX you may use png, jpg and pdf format. LaTeX itself supports just eps.
