Yes, you do have separate user directories (which is good). The
configuration logs in the user directories look fine. Both of them
found MiKTeX. In particular, the 2.0 log shows that it has the correct
converter path for producing PDF output, so View > PDF (pdflatex) should

Okay, this confirms that MiKTeX is correctly installed (still) and that
it knows where the article class is located. The error messages you
were getting about the article class not being available suggested a

Just as an FYI, the Desktop path _does_ contain spaces if it is translated into
an absolute path (it maps to C:\Documents and Settings\\Desktop).
