+If this barfs and tells you that image type @samp{png} is not supported,
+you can either add @acronym{PNG} support to your Emacs installation or
+choose another image format to be used by @previewlatex{}.
+
+Adding support for an image format usually involves the installation of
+a library, e.g. from @uref{http://gnuwin32.sf.net/}.  If you got your
+Emacs from @uref{gnu.org} you might want to check its
address@hidden://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/README,README file} for
+details.
+
+A different image format can be chosen by setting the variable
address@hidden  While it is recommended to keep the
address@hidden or @samp{png} setting, you can temporarily select a
+different format like @samp{pnm} to check if the lack of @acronym{PNG}
+support is the only problem with your Emacs installation.

 Well, that about is all.  Have fun!
