I'm trying hard to adopt LaTEX for my thesis.  Now I'm trying to make a
slideshow for my thesis defense.  I've seen some very impressive PDF
slideshows made with LaTEX, and I'm trying to do likewise.  But every time I
try to use Prosper, I get this output below.

My configuration is Windows XP, and I'm using WinShell.  I think I've got
MikTek in there, but I'm no LaTEX guru, so I may be wrong.  I've scanned the
forums for hours, and I see tips like "update your styles" or such like, but
I don't even know how to do that.  If MikTek or whatever I've got comes
out-dated right out of the box, then how do I get them up to date?

Thanks!
