General ⇒ New PC problem

[thedreamshaper]

I recently got a new PC, i then installed my dear TeXnicCenter and went to work, the problem is that when i compile and view my projekt no changes which has occured in my project takes place in the output!


Any one got a bright idea as to what is wrong ?

Not really. You've provided us with almost no clues to go on

Some questions occur to me.

• Did you install a latex distribution like MikTeX or TeXlive along with TXC? TXC is just an editor.
• Does TXC show any errors when you try to compile?
• Is a log file being produced when you try to compile something? If so, what does it say?
• Are you using the same output profile you were before? (E.g., perhaps it is producing a DVI when you had expected a PDF, etc.?)

I have Miktex installed

It does not show any errors when i compile

I am not sure what a log is, as far as i cant see nothing called a log pops up though..

Some questions occur to me.

It is the same output file type (.Pdf)

In Windows Explorer, look to see if any files are being created in the folder where your .tex files are. Even on an unsuccessful run, there should be a file named [yourfilename].log created when latex tries to process a file.

[thedreamshaper]

Yes it looks like one is being created with the .log suffix

Well, don't leave us in suspense! What does it say? (It's a plain text file; you can open it in Notepad or TXC itself.) Can you upload it here?

My bad

I attached it to this post


oh and thx by the way

Hmm, maybe someone else can see something in there, but it's a bit of a mystery to me. I've never seen a log file end like that. It looks as if the process never completed.

Can you try to compile a very simple minimal document and see if that works?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Hello world!
\end{document}

That might narrow it down as to whether your latex system works at all, or whether the problem is with these files in particular.

I just compiled the program you wrote, here is the log.


I figure if everything fails ill reinstall and hope for the best

Close the AdobeReader before running your document again.
Or use alternative another viewer like ghostview or sumatra pdf
