Hi,
I meet this problem in beamer. It seems to be a bug of of pgfpages.sty of PGF package. I download a new package from sourceForge.net. But it is a zip file containing many folders and files. I read the manual of MikTex2.7(under MS Windows), it tells me how to use the update wizard to install a package. But it does not work. When I specified the directory of my unzip folder, it keeps telling me that it is not a local package repository.
I tried another way which also failed. I delete the package from the update manager and then install it(from some remote repository) but it gives me the same old package.
What should I do? Thank you.

Hi there,

I am not an expert with MS Windows, but Miktex comes with a package manager (mpm.exe). I believe this is the best way to install packages.

Otherwise, I only know the linux way of doing things.

Cheers

Normally, you are much better off using the Package Manager than trying to manually download things.

I've found this problem using cvs version of beamer. It seems to be a problem with pgf and hyperref. A workarround is using

\RequirePackage{atbegshi}
\documentclass{beamer}

instead of just \documentclass{beamer}

Hope it helps.
