After I erased the antialias device, the error was gone. However, although I can
see the page numbers on the left side
and acutally can print out the file, I can't see the context (the gv scree is
blank). So, is something worng with the display?
By the way, I am talking about an LM-7.02 on a DELL Latitute laptop.
