[texpoint-users] Problem with Ghostscript DLL

Wed Jan 20 22:12:55 PST 2010

Hi,

  I have not encountered this problem before. I searched a bit the web
and the best advice I found was to uninstall ghostscript and
reinstalling it. There is a good chance that this operation will fix
the DLL version problem.
