[texworks] failing to open tex file

[Paul A Norman]

Hi Arthur,

Before looking at your .tex file, what is the history of your problem
please?

What system are you on, and how have you got your copy of TeXworks?

>"i am trying to reinstall texlive with no success

You can not install TexLive at all?

When/how were you last able to get your document to open and compile?

Anything relevant you can say about the history of all this will help
please.

Kind regards,

Paul

on your setup, then your problem may be that you installed MiKTeX (and
TeXworks) as one "user" with its privledges and permissions, and are now
trying to actually use TeXworks/MiKTeX as another "user" with its
permissions/ priveldges level.
