Odd problem

Hi, I use ProTeXt-2.2.1, and when I try to view my build by hitting ctrl+F5 I get this: Now, I ran USBTEX from my usb stick before and it didn't work, so I had to go and download ProTeXt. Any ideas on how to solve this? Why does ProTeXt want to use yap.exe on the USB stick?

Hi, I use ProTeXt-2.2.1, and when I try to view my build by hitting ctrl+F5 I get this:

e:\usbtex\usbtex\texmf\texmf\miktex\bin\yap.exe

Cannot execute command

Now, I ran USBTEX from my usb stick before and it didn't work, so I had to go and download ProTeXt.

Any ideas on how to solve this? Why does ProTeXt want to use yap.exe on the USB stick?

Ok, I solved this by changing to LaTeX => PS => PDF.
