Windvi is ignoring all embedded postscript in the file:

c:/local/tex/texmf/doc/windvi/examples/wtest.dvi

The pop-up log file displays the following:

Error: /typecheck in --closefile--
Operand stack:
   --nostringval--   ()
Execution stack:
   %interp_exit   .runexec2   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   2   %stopped_push   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   false   1   %stopped_push   1   3   %oparray_pop   --nostringval--   --nostringval--

Current allocation mode is local
Last OS error: No such file or directory
AFPL Ghostscript 6.50: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

Heres some more (probably useless) information:

Environment Variables
OS      Windows_NT
PATH    C:\Local\TeX\bin\win32;C:\WINNT\System;C:\WINNT\System32;
        C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem

TEMP    C:\Documents and Settings\guyw\Local Settings\Temp
TEXFCNF C:\Local\TeX\texmf-var\web2c

I slurped up the files for fptex (using getfptex.bat) over the weekend
(3rd Febuary) and ran TeXSetup.exe with the radio button set to
recommended level, and the checkbox "Install for all users" ticked.

On the supplementary tools' form I ticked the downloaded from NET
Ghostscript/Ghostview checkbox.
