Beamer compile problem / package problem?
As I said, the problem now seems to be the file pgfcore.sty which is part of the pgf package.

Beamer compile problem / package problem?
I'm sorry that I didn't re-read that and try that before I posted.
Unfortunately that didn't seem to help. I installed pgf via the package manager, made sure i had ownership of that folder and reran.
I have attached the log file, the compiler now won't proceed past pgfsysprotocol.code.tex
Thanks for everyone's help so far!

Re: Beamer compile problem / package problem?
The log you've posted doesn't suggest at all that keyval is at fault. The way TeX writes the log means that an infinite loop tends to "truncate" things: the problem will be happening somewhat later. Given the ongoing problems, I'd think you'd be best doing a complete re-installation. You could spend a long time chasing ideas, whereas a re-installation should clear out any rubbish and get you working.

As gmedina pointed out, it wasn't keyval.sty but what loaded after that. The pfg package. Installing that got me one step further, but still with a compilation error.
I did reinstall MixTex last night, before I posted. My last error log was after I reinstalled MixTex and installed the beamer & pgf packages.

According to my log file (obtained after compilation of your initial test code), now the problem comes from xcolor; apparently you forgot to install the xcolor package after re-installing your system.
As I also already suggested, the best way to go is to install a complete MiKTeX2.8 system, not a basic one. The complete installation will install all the needed packages automatically.
Otherwise, you could waste valuable time manually installing missing dependencies when they appear.

Re: Beamer compile problem / package problem?
As much as I don't like the idea of putting all these packages that I will never use on my system, I think you're right. Especially considering it doesn't tell you what package is missing, and installing on the fly isn't working.
Should I uninstall the basic, and install the complete? Or use the package manager to install everything?
On a side note, i installed xcolor and i'm back to getting the error after beamerbasetheorems.sty

That's up to you. I would uninstall the basic system and then make a fresh new complete installation, but that's just me and my ways ;-) (as localghost pointed out, you can keep your basic system installation and then use the Package Manager to install missing packages.)norcalangel wrote:...Should I uninstall the basic, and install the complete?

Re: Beamer compile problem / package problem?
The complete install worked.
Thank you everyone for all the help.
