Does that mean that TeX is run from the CD (1) or installed on the HD (2)

In case of :
- (1) Add TEXMFMAIN=k:/texmf and TEXMFCNF=k:/texmf/web2c
to your environment and try again
- (2) Try to run latex or dvips from the command line (open up a console),
using the debug options of kpathsea (refer to the manual) if it fails to
run normally.
