There is supposed to be a type1 version of the dingbats fonts - 
try "kpsewhich.exe uzdr.pfb". It should return 
"texmf\fonts\type1\urw\urwstd\uzdr.pfb". If you don't have that file
use the MiKTeX Package Manager to (re)install the "urwstd" package.
If you have that file, something is wrong in your "updmap.cfg".
Is the "urwstd" entries in place?

Map uag.map
Map ubk.map
Map ucr.map
Map uhv.map
Map unc.map
Map upl.map
Map usy.map
Map utm.map
Map uzc.map
Map uzd.map

I notice in another post that your considering reinstalling. That might of
course work, but in my view that is a bad Windows habbit...
