Re: Compiling .tex file, getting error

Hi!
I wonder whether it would work if you didn't have a space in your path name ...
I have seen tons of tools that break on a pathname with spaces like "My documents".

Can you check how much works if you move your TeX documents folder from C:\Documents and settings\yourname ... 
to D:\TeX and try it from there?
