I have installed Miktex 2.9 and TexnicCenter 2.02 (64 bit), and Ghostview 5.0, on my personal laptop (Windows 8.1) and it works fine. We new laptops at work (Windows 7 professional) and I installed the same on that machine. The work laptop compiles, and shows the output (Ghostview). But if I keep the Ghostview window open, make a change to the .tex file, it will compile. But when it tries to open the output file with Ghostview, a window opens up saying: "Callback: PAGE Can't reopen input file. File has changed or is missing. -- Aborted -- gsapi_init_with_args returns -13
If I close Ghosview, it compiles and opens fine. What setting do I need to change?

Re: output won't update
Are you compiling to dvi and watch that? Don't. dvi files aren't really meant to be watched. Better convert your files to pdf or use pdflatex directly and use SumatraPdf to read the pdf file. It is much much better.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
