New computer, old laTex problem

[jsbeckton]

I did look into a few older laTex topics, but I didn't see my problem. I had everything working fine on my old computer but can't remember exactly what I had to change to get Latex to give me something other than jiberish. I have tried all 4 transolators but dont get anything remotely close, I have it in 2.09 or later right now.

Ex:

{tex] cut n' paste 234 from Texaide [/tex} <changed to show what I am typing

This is what i get

\(\displaystyle % MathType!MTEF!2!1!+-
% feqaeaartrvr0aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn
% hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXatLxBI9gBaebbnrfifHhDYfgasaacH8srps0l
% bbf9q8WrFfeuY-Hhbbf9v8qqaqFr0xc9pk0xbba9q8WqFfea0-yr0R
% Yxir-Jbba9q8aq0-yq-He9q8qqQ8frFve9Fve9Ff0dmeaabaqaciGa
% caGaaeqabaaaamaaaOqaaiaaikdacaaIZaGaaGinaaaa!33DB!
\[
234
\]\)

In case somebody else encounters the same difficulty, would you kindly list what those option boxes were, and/or where to locate them?

Thank you.

I will check to see exactly what they say when I get home but they were the only two boxes under
