I've downloaded Elsevier's bundle of files for authors and I've got
problems. I hope someone can help me.
I've only added
\newtheorem{lemma}{Lemma}
and
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}
to what the sample file gave in the preamble (much of it was commented,
though) and there are evidently other things I need to stuff in the preamble
that I'm not familiar with. Besides that, I've 'minimised' my document to
\documentclass[preprint,12pt]{elsarticle}
\newtheorem{lemma}{Lemma}
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}

Add

commands after that. If you are writing a lot of math,
then
\usepackage{amsmath}
is also useful.

This causes the "argument of \title has an extra }"
error message, because LaTeX has become confused.
Use
\markboth{text}{text}
or
\markboth{text}{}
Or leave it out entirely. A normal user doesn't really
need it unless the editors of the journal require it.
A LaTeX class normally issues all necessary \mark

Adobe standard symbol font is missing. Try firing
up the MiKTeX installer and see if a package named
"symbol" is available for installation.

it seems you're missing the MiKTeX package "psnfss".

The pifont package merely provides latex support, and the OP likely
has it.
The error message says the TFM file can't be found. That belongs to
the
MiKTeX symbol package (symbol.cab in systems/win32/miktex/tpm/
packages).
The best way to install it, of course, is with the MPM.

I ran your file axactly as posted and got the error about the proof
environment being undefined. Adding \usepackage{amsthm}
corrected it. So something else must be wrong. Any other error
messages?

And it doesn't contain any TFM files. Those are distributed
separately, one package per font family. The symbol package,
the courier package, the times package, etc.

Come on, every TeX system has that! It's part of latex-required.
