First off, run latex from command line, and make sure you fix all latex erros. If everything is correct, you should see something like this (assuming the file name was test.tex):

[1] [2] [3] (./test.aux)
)
Output written on test.dvi (3 pages, 9224 bytes)

Next, run xdvi test.dvi from the command line, and post error messages.
