At one of my machines (Windows XP), I replaced fpTeX by MiKTeX 2.5. Now, if I open a LaTeX file with Emacs and try to compile it, I get an error like:Running `LaTeX' on `test' with ``latex -interaction=nonstopmode "\input" "test.tex"''latex: The file system path could not be retrieved. LaTeX exited abnormally with code 1 at Thu May 17 19:31:20 I have the same problem when I try to preview a .dvi file, but *not* when I try to preview a .pdf file. Furthermore, I only have this problem when I work as an ordinary user. If I work as an administrator, all works well. Besides, the two _emacs files (the one that corresponds to the administrator and my personal one) are identical.
I was able to solve the problem. First, I used the machine as another user (neither my ordinary account nor the administrator's account) and all went fine. So, it was a specific problem concerning my account. Then I solved the problem in a rather radical way: I created a new account for me and copied everything from the old one into the new one. Now everything works as it should. One of these days, I will see what is it like to work with a _real_ operating system. Best regards, Jose Carlos Santos
