General ⇒ PS to PDF Conversion on a Network Drive

[Thraundil]

Hey guys, my first post here so bear with me if I break a dozen guidelines or so

I use MiKTeX 2.9 package and TeXmaker as my editor. I run Windows 7 and don't really know much of programming, so try and be very newbie friendly in any replies

Now, I sit on the university network drive and run all my stuff from there, due to automatic backups and stuff + being able to access things from home.

Compiling my document creates DVI and PS files just fine. But the PS -> PDF process is somehow hampered by the fact I compile from a network drive, because when I copy the files to the actual harddrive of the PC, it compiles into PDF just fine.

Here is the error message when I try to do PS -> PDF command in TeXmaker after having successfully made the DVI and PS files.

Code: Select all

Process started

'\\ad.nfit.au.dk\NFDFS\Users\ep735\Documents\TeX\Femtolab\Article Templates\Chem Phys Lett' CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory. UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory.

MiKTeX GPL Ghostscript 9.05: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

So basically; why can I compile into PS, but not into PDF, whilst working on a network drive?
It should be noted that I have been able to do so in a previous installation of TeXmaker.
