Hi Joe and David,

My values is:
.:d:/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-12.1.1/latex:

on the old version which works for the file, the value is:
.;d:/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-11.91.0/latex;

Note that the path separator are different, for 12.1.1, it is ":", for
11.91.0, it is ";". I'm not sure whether it is important.

By the way, my AucTeX setting up script is:

(setq TeX-auto-save t)
(setq TeX-parse-self t)
(setq-default TeX-master nil)
(setq TeX-PDF-mode t)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex)
(setq reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX t)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook (lambda() (TeX-fold-mode 1)))

Thanks,
Liyu
