Hello, I have installed MiKTeX 2.9 on XP. I am compiling a tex tile called gaylin2. I am using the cmd prompt to do this. I am getting this error: "I can't find file gaylin2". My tex folder is in the My Documents folder. The file gaylin2 is in the tex folder, I can open it in WinEdt (which is what I use to edit my tex files). Not sure if you need any other information? I don't know what to do to trouble shoot this error. Thanks for your help, gaylin |

If, for instance, that folder is called TeX and it is located at the My Documents folder, then do "cd TeX" within the command prompt. Best regards, Jose Carlos Santos |

Hi, Is there any particular reason why you don't compile it directly from WinEdt? On 1 Nov 2012, at 21:53, "Gaylin Lyons" <gay...@gm...> wrote: > Hello, > > I have installed MiKTeX 2.9 on XP.

Hi, I find it simpler to use the cmd prompt.

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?

Hi, I've been able to compile it from the My Documents folder in the past, and if I am correct with using the cmd prompt I have to write the path as it is, so the spaces stay in. My D: drive is my CD / DVD Rom, so that would not work.

Hi Alan, Yes, I am spelling it correctly.

Can you post a screen shot of the command window after you change to this directory and enter the following two commands: dir gaylin2.tex pdflatex gaylin2 Thanks, Alan Isaac |
