Includegraphics doesn't work

[Lily]

For a while now, I can't compile graphics with latex. It seems to be
some problem with my computer or TexnicCenter setup, since a friend of
mine is able to compile the file with the graphics displayed in the
pdf output file. I created a dummy test file to make sure no other
packages are interfering:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[hbtp]
\includegraphics[width=10cm]{Kontextbruecke.emf}
\caption{Overlap}
\label{kontextbruecke}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

It doesn't seem to be a problem with the code, as I said... Maybe
someone has experienced similar problems and found a solution?

Thanks for your help!!!

Sorry, I forgot to include the error message I get:

! Undefined control sequence.
l.10 \includegraphics
[width=10cm]{Kontextbruecke.emf}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

(As in log file)

Hello Lily,

it seems, that your Latex-system do not know the graphicx.sty-file,
since it does not know \includegraphics.
Could you copy graphicx.sty-file to the same directory as your Latex
file and try it again?

Cheers

I have tested your code, and it works just fine with MiKTeX 2.7. Which
system do you use? Can you update it? I think, you have some problems
with TeX installation.

This would produce the error "LaTeX Error: File `graphicx.sty' not
found." I think...

Hello Kotya,

you are right!

I am using MiKTeX 2.7 as well. I installed it last, uhm, September I
guess. And I just updated all packages I have installed and refreshed
the FNDB. It's still not working...

Anything else I could try?

Thanks!!

I finally managed to solve it - I deleted my graphics.sty and
graphicx.sty and downloaded them from the web again. It seems to work
fine now. Apparently one of the files was damaged!
Thanks for your help anyway!!
