OS: Windows 7
Editor: TeXnic Center 1.0
Compiler: MiKTeX 2.8
I used the package manager to install the Beamer, and xcolor packages.
I have 'Install packages on the fly' set to Yes (even though sometimes that doesn't help and I have to manually install them using the manager).
Produces 0 errors, 2 warnings, 0 bad boxes, and 0 pages.
Can someone please help me figure out why this won't compile/produce output?
Here is the log file:
I thought I read in your first post that you installed some packages manually; in this case, you have to refresh the FNDB. I don't have a Windows machine at hand right now, but if I recall correctly, you have to go to
Start->All Programs->MiKTeX2.8->Settings
and in the "General" tab, there's a button "Refresh FNDB".
The next file that should be loaded is pgfcore.sty, and apparently this package is also missing in your system. At this point my suggestion would be to delete your Basic MiKTeX2.8 installation and to do a complete MiKTeX2.8 installation.

A complete de-installation is not necessary since all installable packages can be chosen in the MiKTeX Package Manager thus can be installed subsequently to complete the installation.
But 'keyval.sty' isn't a downloadable package... and that's where the program is hanging.
I just checked, and keyval.sty is where it's supposed to be \tex\latex\graphics.
Is there a way to find out if this file is corrupted? I get the impression that it's part of the main MikTex distribution which I got from the main website. So if there's a problem with that file, I wouldn't be the only one affected.
