If you get this error in GNU Emacs, then you are probably using a lisp package that was intended for XEmacs. > 2. on my laptop it works (saving), but I have problem with other > things.

If you see a different toolbar, then most likely, one of your emacsen is GNU Emacs while the other is XEmacs. > When I find file, Yatex invites me, but I dont have > Command Preview and Latex. The Command and Latex menus belong to the AUC TeX package, the Preview menu belongs to the Preview package.

I'm not very intimate with internationalization, but in general you use latex to get a dvi file from latex source files (*.tex files). >>From the dvi file you can create a postscript file with dvips, or a pdf file with dvipdf. There are also latex compilers that can generate pdf files directly.
