No execution

Post by fallou »

Hello everyone,
I installed Latex and it is working fine for a while and then I was getting this message after each execution:"you are attempting to make a Latex format from a file that is more than five years old." I google it and someone suggested that I remove the Miktex 2.8 and install the 2.9 one instead. So I did that and now it is worse, it just displays: " the system cannot find the file" . I have tried to add a key named runonce under Current version but it didn't fix it (I was told to do that also). I badly need help. I am looking forward to your suggestions.
Thank you in advance.

Hi fallou
Can you give us a little more details? After you removed the older MikTeX and installed the new one, did you update your editor to point to the new version?

Thank you very much.
No I did not. I mean I removed all of them: MikteX, TeXnicCenter and everything. And then reinstall all as usual using the new Miktex. After I didnt do anything I just tried to run it.
