Dr Noack Please allow me to start again... I'm working within MikTek 2.7 using the AMSBOOK document class and, after working for awhile, one does a current file "build" - I think it means "compile" (from a drop-down menu) to create a .dvi file (or a pdf file as of choice) and a number of other files like .aux, .log, etc. No .dvi file is created and I get the message "Underfull \hbox (badness 10000)" at the bottom of the screen. At that point, the program will not allow me to save my work giving the message: "Cannot create a file when that file already exists." Previously, I have had no trouble using "build" which you are advised to use twice. [I happen to use "build" followed by "build and view" in order to see the dvi contents.] / Once the Underfill message appears, the menus become inoperative. So I can't see how to remedy the situation. / Regards Keith |

At lest post your your .log file. That might help. Best regards, Jose Carlos Santos |

But texniccenter and miktex are different things. Miktex offers the TeX-applications and other things while Texniccenter is a editor and an interface to call the tex applications. So your question should probably better go to the texniccenter list. > No .dvi file is created and I get the message "Underfull \hbox > (badness 10000)" at the bottom of the screen. I doubt that this is the last message. Probably a real error follows and latex is expecting some input from you. Can you scroll down? Do you know how texniccenter reacts if you have a real error in your document like \sectio{tes} or \input{dontexist} and what you can do to recover from such errors? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Ulrike Fischer mailto:li...@ni... |

As several has already mentioned, it appears that you are using TeXnic Center or some related program to process the tex file. I'll go on limb here and assume you are using TeXnic Center. Have you used it before? The "bad box", as other has mentioned, doesn't cause fatal error. If you mean that you simply chose DVI from drop-list (There are settings to what type of file you want generated, such as PDF, DVI, etc), then you also need to activate build command. If you did that, and could not do it again to process additional files such as bibtex, etc then that would be likely due to file permission issues which I assume either can be fixed by setup/preferences either by TeXnic Center settings or administrative settings on Windows. If you are not experienced with TeXnic Center, and it's your first time, then it's highly recommended that you try a simple file saying "hello world!" to troubleshoot. Usually, in my experience if I cause fatal error that cause TeXnic Center to stop processing/building the files, it would say, no output produced or such thing. Most common fatal errors are forgetting \end{document} or missing a single "}" such as \frac{}{ without completing it with one more }. Hopefully this is helpful.
