Whereas mine looks like 10/11/2005 04:04 PM <DIR> . 10/11/2005 07:30 AM <DIR> .. 10/11/2005 04:04 PM <DIR> 1.0 0 File(s) O bytes 3 Dir(s) 28,478,042,122 bytes free Mine has no sign of an exe file so it looks like I may have found the culprit. Given that it takes about 40 minutes to load Miktex I left it installed and got rid of everytiong else but I have the same result.

I have noticed that there is nothing under the TeX Information. That is LaTex Classes, LaTex styles and BibTex styles list are all empty I notice that my Python is older. > So it will work, > Stephen Of course it will :) __________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca
