[texpoint-users] TexPoint error under MS Windows Vista

Hello,

I am trying out TexPoint for the first time.  I am using Windows Vista
and the latest version of PowerPoint.  TexPoint seems to have installed
OK, but when I try to insert an equation I get the following error
message:  

"Error occurred while creating the equation: Tex2Bmp: Error while
running <pstoedit>".  

Furthermore, I notice that each time I try to insert an equation a new
instance of pstoedit runs.  After a few attempts, there are enough
copies to pstoedit running that I begin to notice the impact on the CPU.
The LaTeX output that TexPoint gives to me is pasted below, as is the
output from the configuration menu.

Thank you for any help you can offer,

Dan Cook

If all external commands are OK, TexPoint is fully functional. In case a
'FAILED' is shown, some features will not work. You may want to install
the indicated software and/or check the global (on Mac: the bash) path
configuration. Please also check the manual for details.
