Yap error: Windows API error 5: Access is denied
If you are not an administrator on your own machine you may get an access violation error when using the Yap dvi viewer supplied with MikTex. The error is Windows API error 5: Access is denied. The happens because the user does not have write access to the MikTex directories. Right click on the directory, say, C:\Apps\MiKTeX, and make the directory, and all subdirectories, read-write. This should solve the problem.
