General ⇒ latex.exe: GUI framework not initialised error

[coat0050]

I have installed TeXnicCenter 2.8 and MiKTeX 2.8 on a new Dell Latitude E6400 computer running Windows XP version 5.1. If I try and use either of the packages

\usepackage{txfonts}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}

I get the error "latex.exe: GUI framework not initialised" in the Build Output window (but not in the LOG file) after loading the dvips.def package. The simple source file (below) runs when these packages are not included. Has anyone come across this error? I am at a loss to know what is the problem.


\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,notitlepage]{article}%
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{txfonts} % Works only if this is commented out
\usepackage{fancyhdr} % Works only if this is commented out
\begin{document}
Some text.
\end{document}

It is essential to tag source code as such by using the code environment of the forum (see Board Rules). This keeps a post clear and legible.

Thanks Thorsten for the pointer to MiKTeX issues. I'm a newbie to the Board and so I'm still learning the Board Rules.
