[texpoint-users] TexPoint Preview not working, bad install?

[M. Boss]

Well, I manually edited my PATH variable in the Registry, and from the 
command line using "setx".  I think the output of the information looks 
different, but I still don't have a working preview.  I also uninstalled 
all old versions of ghostscript (I installed GS 8.62 AFTER I had 
installed TexPoint, so I think that's pretty much like the reinstall 
mentioned earlier).  Not sure what to do next.  For the record, I am 
running Windows XP x64 SP2, so I wonder if the OS (and where it likes to 
put things) is throwing TexPoint for a loop.  TexPoint is reporting it 
as being Windows 32-bit, which it is not.

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.
