Hi Barakaty,

use pdflatex instead of latex, just click the pdfLaTeX or pdfTeXify button to compile, then you will be able to include jpg files.

Hi Barakaty,

I recommend to convert the eps files to pdf format (by epstopdf or ghostscript) for use with pdflatex.
There's even a package epstopdf supporting conversion on the fly.
