[pstricks] Support question

[Wallace, Patrick (STFC,RAL,RALSP)]

I am becoming confused.

> That is not the correct directory.

OK.  I have removed the file:

C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\MiKTeX\dvipdfm\config\dvipdfmx.cfg

By the way, I first tried renaming it to dvipdfmx.win, and that
didn't work.

> C:\Users\Herbert Voss>mgs.exe --version

When in C:\WINDOWS\system32 I typed "mgs.exe --version" and got the
reply "9.25", as you did.

There is no file dvipdfmx.win anywhere on my system.

So to summarize:

1) I have no directory "C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9".  My
   equivalent seems to be "C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\MiKTeX".

2) I do not know into what directory the configuration file has to
   be placed.

3) I do not have the file dvipdfmx.win.  Is this simply the file
   dvipdfmx.cfg that you sent, but renamed?

Also:

4) I do not know whether I will need to execute texhash and, if so,
   whether a reboot will be required as well.

I apologize if I am missing something obvious.  Thank you for your
patience!
