[MiKTeX] MiKTeX 2.9 -- pdftexify

[Gyorgy S. <gyo...@un...>]

dear list members and developers,

i have been using miktex 2.6 with winedt 6 (the latest buid)
for a couple of weeks.

i have updated MiKTeX 2.9 this morning (update: 06.11.2010).

i have been working on two presentations each typeset with
beamer.

if i pdflatex file 1 i work on i get an error message:

Output written on filename.dvi
.........................
PDFTeXify failed to create a pdf file.

if, however, i make a postscriptfile from the dvi file created
(dvi2ps) and then a pdf file (ps2pdf) the result is ok.


if i pdflatex file 2 (with pdf figures in it) i work on i get
other error message:

Cannot determine size of graphic  in figure1.pdf (no BoundingBox).

to my surprise if i use xelatex there is no problem at all, i.e., i get
a pdf file from file2 --  in other words there is no problem with
my pdf figures.

this clearly shows that there is still (are still) a bug (bugs) in 
pdftexify.
is there a hope that this bug will be fixed soon?

thank you for any information and help in advance.

a final remark

i have two operating systems on my computer
(1) windows 7 with miktex 2.9 and winedt 6

(2) windows xp with miktex 2.8 and winedt 6
       texify works as is expected with miktex 2.8
