Hello All,

I'm having some trouble with Image Magick on Windows 2000.

To be able to view .eps and .pdf within LyX I need to get Image Magick
working.

I was using Image Magick version 6.1.9
(ImageMagick-6.1.9-Q16-windows-dll.exe) and AFPL Ghostscript 8.50. After
some fiddling around I was able to view .eps/.pdf images withing LyX on
one occasion but I came back to my computer a few hours later, turned it
on again and I could no longer view .eps/.pdf within LyX. I thought there
might be a conflict between I.M. and Ghostscript so to try and fix the
problem I removed AFPL Ghostscript 8.50 and installed GNU Ghostscript7.05
(this version is recommended on the Image Magick website).

However now I'm having trouble with Image Magick. I can no longer view
.eps or .pdf files using Image Magick Display. I also get the same error
trying to use convert from the command line e.g.

C:\Documents\graphics>convert eps:aulogo.eps ppm:test.ppm
convert.exe: no decode delegate for this image format `aulogo.eps'.
convert.exe: missing an image filename `ppm:test.ppm'.

I have uninstalled Image Magick (via Add/Remove programs) and tried to
reinstall it several times but I still get the same error. I have also
tried a slightly older version. When I have uninstalled Image Magick I can
still find references to it in the registry. I think Image Magick may be
trying to call the version of Ghostscript that I no longer have installed.

Does anyone have any tips on getting Image Magick working?

Or on how I can get rid of it (and possible Ghostscript) completely so
that I can install them afresh?

Thanks in advance
Nick Burgan
