[texpoint-users] Problem with Ghostscript DLL

Wed Jan 20 14:09:04 PST 2010

Hello,

I had my version of TexPoint running well for a long time but suddenly 
it stopped working. As far as I can track the error, it is because 
TexPoint doesn't like my version of Ghostscript for which I have 804 (a 
newer version) and it looks for version 705 (an older). Anybody knows 
how I can solve this problem? Thank you very much,

Andres
