Maybe from the registry.  There are some keys in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AFPL Ghostscript\<version>.  AFAICS there
is only one entry in PATH related to Ghostscript and that points to
the bin directory of the Ghostscript installation.

The combination of paths shown above looks really, really wrong.  And
I'm not sure that the gs directory should be below the ghostgum
directory.  IIRC ghostgum is a directory used by GSView.  What I'd do
is to uninstall both GSView and Ghostscript, then remove any remaining
traces of them from PATH and the registry, and install Ghostscript and
after that GSView again.

And yes, this is clearly not a preview-latex problem but a problem of
a botched Ghostscript installation.  So if it doesn't get any better
after reinstalling stuff, asking on a Ghostscript-related list might
be a good idea.
