Here is what I see when I open a Command Prompt: Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000] Copyright 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\Users\Coskun> When I run cmd.exe at this prompt, I see this: C:\Users\Coskun>cmd.exe Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000] Copyright 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\Users\Coskun> It seems that all commands (latex, yap, etc.) I run here work. I type exit twice: once to exit cmd and once again to close the Command Prompt window. Please let me know if more information would be helpful. Best, Coskun
