Re: help

Hello,
 
I just want to thank all those tried to help. It is working finally. I removed the MikTex again, and installed it for the fourth time. The error was not in the tex file, it was in the installation, and I don't know why.
 
But, thanks for all of your help, especially Mr. Jan.
 
Regards,
 
Alaa.
