Hi,

first of all, you should uninstall MiKTeX2.3 and install MiKTeX2.7.

Now, to your document. Supress the draft class option; i.e., delete draft from this line:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,twoside,draft]{book}

If your image is in jpg format and you compile with PDFLaTeX (LaTeX => PDF profile in TeXnicCenter) then there should be no need to declare a bounding box.

Change the page layout using the geometry package.

Change the interline space using the setspace package.

Hi,

I don't usually use Windows related products and I don't have a Windows machine at hand right now. However, let's review some steps:

1) Did you uninstall completely MiKTeX2.3 and your (possibly) old version of TeXnicCenter?
2) If so, you then should have installed MiKTeX2.7 and the updated version of TeXnicCenter with no problems. The first time that you launch TeXnicCenter, a window will pop-up asking you to locate the LaTeX binaries: the path (for a standard (default) installation) is something like

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX2.7\miktex\bin

Having done this and "Accepting" everything else should be enough and everything should be working 0K.

In any case, here is the MiKTeX2.7 manual and Chapter 2 handles the installation procedure.
