PSPICE Simulation of Simple ac to dc PSU (Electronics)

Hello
Not sure if anyone here could help...
I'm trying to make a basic circuit in PSPICE (actually using SIMetrix/SIMPLIS) for a course I'm doing.
I can build and test this with physical conponents and I know it is all ok from a design point of view (it is fairly simple!) but I've got no real experience with simulation software and cannot seem to get the thing to work.
It is a basic ac to dc PSU set up as follows:
mains (230V rms) > transformer ('ideal' p:s/10:1) > rectifier (full-wave bridge with assumed voltage drop of 0.7V per diode) > smoothing (1000uF capacitor) > load (25 ohm)
I don't seem to be able to probe the circuit.
I'm just missing something with the analysis options as far as I can tell.
Is anyone familiar with the software or other SPICE software and willing to have a look if I email it to you?
Cheers, GreenSheep

No idea about the software, I guess you mean something like this:
That gum you like is coming back in style.0 -
Exactly.
I have other simulation software at home (I'm at work at the moment) but the chaps running the course want it in SIMetrix.
I'm sure I could get it running in 5Spice (the only simulation software I've used before) in minutes but this would be no good.
I'll have to give the pub a miss tonight and just read up on it all
