A few days ago I've downloaded the latest EMACS for Windows (23.1.1) + the latest AUCTEX. Still Windows XP. Now the problem. I use Latex2E to process the .tex fils and create the dvi. Now when there is a compilation error, I press C-c C-` to look the error log. The screen gets split, the error logs shows up in the lower windows, *but* the upper part is empty. So I have to go to the buffer list and re-read the .tex file into the upper window. Then the file shows up, with a cursor pointing to the possible location of the error, as it should be. Now with my old setup I had a similar situation on occasion: when AUCTEX can't parse the error, so when I press C-c C-` I get the empty buffer. With my new setup, however, it happens all the time Latex2e detects the error. I wonder whether there's some AUCTEX parameter I can tweak. TIA. (Note: I run portable MIKTEX, and I install and run EMACS+AUCTEX from the same USB flash drive. Other than that problem I've described, everything appears to work just fine, but, of course a bit slow.)
