General ⇒ problem with building DVI

[Trikreen]

I have a lot of problems with this program TechnixCenter. One of them is that I cannot build a DVI (or PDF) file. This is what the program says:

so far so good, then . . .

Babel <v3.81> and hypenation pattersn for english, dumylang, nohyphenation, german, ngerman, german-x-2008-06-18, french, loaded.
X! Latex Error: File `.cls' not found.
Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: cls)
Enter file name:
X! Emergency stop.

Windows gives the following message:

MikTex Problem Report

Windows API error 2. The system cannot find the indicated file.

Data:
D:\Documents and Settings\Tim\Desktop\Eugenetica.dvi

I located this file under D:\Documents and Settings\Tim , but when i open it it shows a blank page.

I use TexnicCenter 1 Beta 7.01 and MixTex 2.7. i have all the packages installed.

Hi Trikreen,

welcome to the board!
Your first line is not correct, it should be written this way:

Code: Select all
