I installed the very latest version of ImageMagick on my
Windows 7 64-bit machine (ImageMagick-6.7.2-9-Q16-windows-
x64-dll.exe) and I had no problem whatsoever converting
a PostScript file to a PNG file.

I really don't know what might be happening. But I guess
I would try re-installing ImageMagick.

Cheers,

David

I'm in a restaurant having breakfast, so I can't say. But ImageMagick
doesn't seem too happy. :-(

ImageMagick is famous (infamous?) for changing things between
releases.
I'm sure I don't have the very latest version on the machine I have
with me, but I'll see if I can install the latest and see if I have
the same problems.

Cheers,

David

How strange! I've just installed exactly the same version as you used on
a similar machine (W7, 64-bit, IDL 8.0) and it gave exactly the same error.

Any other ideas?

Cheers,

Robin
