I get the following error: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.
I had made no changes to my Winedt configurations or updated MixTex packages. My IT department is at a loss. We have tried reinstalling both Winedt and MixTex to no avail.
Here is a simple file that will not compile:

In response to an increase in blood glucose levels, insulin is released into the bloodstream by the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. As a result of this influx of glucose, the islets start bursting oscillations of the membrane potential and the intracellular calcium concentration. However, time delays of several seconds in the activity of distant cells in the islets have been observed, indicating that electrical and calcium wave propagation through the islets can occur. A robust biophysical model of a 2D pancreatic islet is considered. As the islets are roughly circular, polar coordinates will be employed. The resulting model equations contain two nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations. Using a modification of the standard Alternate Direction Implicit (ADI) Method proposed by Amiri \& Hosseini for nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations, simulations are carried out of a pancreatic islet immersed in a glucose bath.
