I've just started a PhD and the computer I am using has WinEdt installed. For my masters, I used MikTex to compile my LaTeX documents, but now need to use WinEdt. However, the options to "Texify", "LaTeX", "Tex", "PDF Texify", "PDF LaTeX" and "PDF Tex" do not seem to be working. I have tried running the diagnosis (in the Configuration wizard and get the following:
If anyone knows how to resolve this problem, I would really appreciate the help.----------------------------------------------------------

Summary
===========
Your TeX installation appears to be fine. If you experience problems after an application has been launched this usually isn't a WinEdt-related matter. In such case, you should test a problematic application from the Command Prompt, consult the documentation that comes with your software, and try to locate the real source of your problem...

Searching for Executables:
==========================
WinEdt will try to locate external executables based on the information stored in the variables that were imported from Windows Registry in its Startup Macro. If some components are not found follow the instructions. Some applications such as, for example, TtH or HHC are optional; you can ignore any messages about the "missing" accessories that you are not intending to use...
TeX-Root: OK
C:\Documents and Settings\mbbx7dw2\Application Data\MiKTeX\2.9\miktex/bin\
TeX-Bin: OK

TeX-Help: (TeX Live pdf doc) not found
C:\Documents and Settings\mbbx7dw2\Application Data\MiKTeX\2.9\miktex/bin\\english\texlive-en\live.pdf
****************************************************
WinEdt did not find the expected documentation in TeX's Help folder. To correct the problem install extra TeX Documentation (eg. with MiKTeX's Package Manager or TeX Live Manager) or reinstall a complete (reasonably up-to-date) TeX System. Otherwise you will not be able to use TeX-Related Help Items in WinEdt's Help Menu.

TtH: (tth.exe): not Found
****************************************************
TtH is an optional LaTeX to HTML convertor. If TtH is installed on your system you should modify the PATH to include its location (or else place "tth.exe" to TeX's Binary folder or somewhere else on WinEdt's PATH).
For a variety TeX convertors visit http://www.tug.org and follow the information and links on this page. TtH can be found at:
http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth
Unless you want to convert TeX files into html format you can safely ignore this message because you don't need this application for TeX-ing...
Please note that TeX convertors are not really a WinEdt-related issue...

HHC: not Found
"hhc.exe"
****************************************************
HHC (HTML Help Workshop and Compiler) is determined in Startup.edt from the Windows Registry. WinEdt did not find any valid registry entries pertaining to HHC. If you are planning to use HHC make sure that MS HTML Help Workshop (free download from http://www.microsoft.com) is properly installed on your system. If absolutely necessary, you can edit WinEdt's Startup Macro and explicitly enter definition of the executable:
// Detect MS HTML Workshop in Windows Registry!
...
// Enter it Manually if not found
Assign("HHC",|"C:\...\HTML Help Workshop\hhc.exe"|);
Unless you want to use the HTML Help compiler to create your own ".chm" files you can safely ignore this message because you don't need this application...

Help in this interface contains additional guidelines on how to correct most commonly encountered problems and how to further customize and configure external applications that are launched from WinEdt...

Thanks in advance.
