Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Image Insertion Error with pdftex

[Neverspeak]

I'm using pdftex with TeXnicCenter. I cannot get the image file inserted into the document. When I build this:

\documentclass[12pt,titlepage]{article}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\begin{document}

What a bunch of crap?!

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\caption[Figure 1]
\includegraphics{valleyOfStability}
\end{figure}

\end{document}


I get the error

! Package pdftex.def Error: File `\color@endgroup .png' not found.

See the pdftex.def package documentation for explanation.

I have the image file saved in the same folder as the .tex file. I have a .png, .jpg, .pdf, and .eps version there, so the issue isn't the file type. I've tried adding each of these file extensions to the filename in the tex code.

Well, with a modern set up you don't need the option [pdftex] for the graphics package. Also, the \caption macro needs a mandatory argument, and you've only given an optional one. What will then happen is that \includegraphics gets sucked up by \caption, and then all sorts of things will go wrong!
