Hi All,
I already had Latex working perfectly fine on my machine with Windows
XP. I heard somethings about LyX..and wanted to try it out. But that
screwed up the things badly for me. LyX was not able to completely
import all the files from .tex, so i uninstalled it..but sadly
enough..after that even LaTex is not producing any output for me..the
building process doesnt finish at all. I unstalled and reinstalled
Miktex-Ghostscript,Ghostview & Texnic center but to no success. I cant
figure out the problem because the same file builds well on my office
computer.  So someone pls pls pls help me figuring out this probem.
Its very important for me.

Thanks for reading this & thanks a tonne if you are choosing to help
me...:)

Without an exact error message it is very difficult to tell if or what
LaTeX error it is.
Did you tried to purge all temporary files, like .aux? After removing
LaTeX packages from
the preamble or switching the compiler/frontend you should do this.
However normally if you allow the compiler to finish even after an
error, a correct .aux file is generated
and the problem fixes itself.

Neither Ghostscript,Ghostview & Texnic center have something to do
with the LaTeX compilation.
With "Miktex-Ghostscript", do you mean "Miktex and Ghostscript" or the
Miktex version of Ghostscript?
Reinstalling MikTeX completely may fix it, but might be overkill.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for your response. There is no error message in particular. The
compilation process just stops after a point. I have figured that
using tikz was causing that problem. I am not sure if its okay to run
tikz with pstricks. Here is the preamble of the file.::

\usepackage{amsmath, amsthm, amssymb}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{sgame}
\usepackage{egameps}
\usepackage[top=3D1in, bottom=3D1in, left=3D1in, right=3D1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{tikz}


\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}
\newtheorem{acknowledgement}[theorem]{Acknowledgement}
\newtheorem{algorithm}[theorem]{Algorithm}
\newtheorem{axiom}[theorem]{Axiom}
\newtheorem{case}[theorem]{Case}
\newtheorem{claim}[theorem]{Claim}
\newtheorem{conclusion}[theorem]{Conclusion}
\newtheorem{condition}[theorem]{Condition}
\newtheorem{conjecture}[theorem]{Conjecture}
\newtheorem{corollary}[theorem]{Corollary}
\newtheorem{criterion}[theorem]{Criterion}
\newtheorem{definition}[theorem]{Definition}

\newtheorem{notation}[theorem]{Notation}
\newtheorem{problem}[theorem]{Problem}
\newtheorem{proposition}[theorem]{Proposition}
\newtheorem{remark}[theorem]{Remark}
\newtheorem{solution}[theorem]{Solution}
\newtheorem{summary}[theorem]{Summary}
%\newenvironment{proof}[1][Proof]{\noindent\textbf{#1.} }{\
\rule{0.5em}{0.5em}}
%\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{2}
%\input{tcilatex}\
\setlength{\parindent}{0in} %alternative to no indent
\setlength\parskip{0.2in}
\renewcommand\abstractname{Objective}




And thanks for telling  me that its only Miktex which is concerned
with Latex compilation. Otherwise i would have kept on uninstalling &
reinstalling the whole thing again & again(if ever need arises in
future):)

Thanks,
PS

Sorry but this is not a preamble: \usepackage before \documentclass...

Your \rule command should be commented.

There is no \begin{document}...

Thanks Le. the document class is declared before all this. And
\begin{document} follows all of this. And \rule command is actually
commented in the original file. That typo walked in while copy-
pasting.
