Problem starting Miktex with BAT file

Normally, I run Miktex with this BAT file:

miktex-pdflatex %1
miktex-bibtex %1
miktex-pdflatex %1
miktex-pdflatex %1

and for a long time it has worked perfectly.

But recently it stopped working. Now it simply repeats the lines in the file.

How can I get it working again?

With thanks.

BAT file does has stopped working

This BAT file:

miktex-pdflatex %1
miktex-bibtex %1
miktex-pdflatex %1
miktex-pdflatex %1

normally works fine. But now it simply repeats the commands in the file.

I have tried re-installing Miktex but that does not help.

How can I fix this problem?

Strange problem with one citation with MikTex

I've discovered the reason for the problem! The source file for the paper was using predefined bibliographic entries instead of my BibTex source file. Hence the new citation was not being picked up.

Many thanks indeed for your help!

Problem with file associations

I have been using WinEdt 7 and then bought a licence for WinEdt 9. Since my computer (with W7) was still treating WinEdt 7 as the default program for TEX files, I tried to change that to WinEdt 9 using the "Default programs" facility. Since that did not work (WinEdt 7 remained stubbornly in place as ...

Missing figures with pdflatex

I wonder whether anyone could explain why figures are missing from my PDF output file when I'm using pdflatex.

Here is relevant code:

\usepackage[dvipdfm]{graphicx}
\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{figure_1a.eps}

I have also tried

\includegraphics[bb=0 0 446 459,scale=0.5]{figure_1a.eps ...
