There was a known incompatibility between AUCTeX and Ghostscript 9.22
which was resolved with the release of AUCTeX 11.92.  From the release
note:

    preview-latex is compatible with Ghostscript 9.22 where the
    operator '.runandhide' is removed.  All occurrences of
    '.runandhide' in preview-latex are replaced by alternative code
    making it work with Ghostscript 9.22 again.

Please update your AUCTeX to latest version 12.1 and try again.

Best, Arash
