Re: DVI to PDF

David:

Windows 7
MikTex 2.9 (64 bit) - which I just downloaded today
Using WinEdit 8 to convert dvi to pdf (so I do not know exactly how it does
it)
Examples of tex, dvi and pdf files are attached.

I just moved to a new computer, but did not have this problem on the old
one running MikTex and using WinEdit 7 (I checked with WinEdit, but they
said the warnings sounded like a MikTex problem)

Paul:

When I try to run pdflatex directly (again via WinEdit) I get other
problems: messages that certain files are missing. It asks if I want to
install them. Although I say "yes" it seems like they do not get installed.

Thanks for any help.

John
