I have just installed WinEdt on a new PC, and I get the following problem when trying to view a DVI file using Yap. First, I get the following error message:
MiKTeX Problem Report
Message: Invalid argument
Data:
Source: Libraries\MiKTeX\Core\FileStream.cpp
Line: 116
MiKTeX: 2.9
Then, I get lots of the following errors:
MiKTeX Problem Report
Message: Some PostScript specials could not be rendered.
Data: Error: /undefined in H.S
Source: Libraries\MiKTeX\Dvi\Ghostscript.cpp
Line: 372
MiKTeX: 2.9
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium, and the problem occurs both with WinEdt 5.5 and 7.
I would be very grateful for any advice.

Re: Problem with DVI viewer
It seems that you use PostScript (PSTricks) in your code, which requires a PostScript viewer or converter. DVI viewers might implement a subset of PostScript but their job is still DVI.
I would view the output using a PostScript capable viewers such as gs, or if PDF would be the final output, then a PDF viewer. It's no problem for modern editors to set the compilation routine to compile to DVI, convert to PS, convert to PDF and to open the PDF.
