MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ What is wrong with my MikTex 2.8?

[harario]

Hello folks,

I have MikTex 2.7 installed on my PC at home which works to perfection, and a 2.8 version installed on my office PC (Windows 2000) which gives me a constant headache. Virtually anytime I call a non-trivial package the file refuses to compile, although I have personally configured the system to install new packages automatically. I am a mere user and am not familiar with the intrinsic mechanism. I would provide any file needed in order for you to guide me through this.

Cheers,
Ofir

I'm new to MikTex and I was having problems with documents where MikTex was supposed to be automatically installing packages as needed. Mine would also fail to compile when it was running across one of these packages. I don't have web link now, but I think my error was "Windows API Error 87" and the problem was apparently caused by MikTex somehow having two versions of itself running at the same time. The fix (or workaround) was to reboot the computer. I still occasionally have the problem, but a reboot seems to fix it.

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply!

Unfortunately, things don't seem to be as simple for me.
Below you can find my latex code.
I will attach the log shortly.

I will appreciate any kind of help.
At the moment the file is not even compiled, and no warnings/errors are to be found.
