Re: [MiKTeX] DVI Viewer Problem

[Michael B. <ba...@ma...>]

I don't know, but I have a suggestion.  When I got a new laptop with Vista 
I tried to install TeX-Live and got it installed under c:\program files. 
I had a similar experience.  Then I installed miktex, but I installed it 
under root and now the viewer (now yap) worked.  I do not know if it was 
the fact that I installed under root or that it was yap rather than 
divout, but I would try reinstalling the entire miktex under root, 
assuming that you let it install under program files.  Apparently, unless 
permissions are set properly, it is impossible to install things in that 
directory.  I found, for example, that it is not possible to copy a .exe 
file to any subdirectory of program files.  (Eventually, at considerable 
cost, I "upgraded" the OS to XP.)
