[MiKTeX] Problems with subfig package

[Marcel v. L. <m.v...@st...>]

Hi,

I am using the subfig package for my figure placement in my thesis. I
ran into a problem of which the manuals proposes two solutions: both did
not work for me.

This is my code:

...

\usepackage{subfig}

...

\begin{figure}[h]%
\centering
\subfloat[Big]{\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{bigimage}\label{fig:twoimages:a}}%
\qquad
\subfloat[Small]{\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{smallimage}\label{fig:twoimages:b}}%
\caption{Two images}%
\label{fig:twoimages}%
\end{figure}

....

As suggusted by the text is the left image a big image, the rigt one a
small one. The captions are neatly aligned and the images are aligned at
the bottom. However, I want them to be vertically aligned in the center.
The solution proposed in the manual:

\begin{figure}%
     \centering
     \newsavebox{\tempbox}%
     \sbox{\tempbox}{\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{bigimage}}%
     \subfloat[Big]{\usebox{\tempbox}}%
     \qquad
     \subfloat[Small]{%
       \vbox to \ht\tempbox{%
         \vfil
           \includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{smallimage}
         \vfil}}%
     \caption{ two floats}
     \label{fig:test}
\end{figure}

Places the big image above the small one.

The other proposed solution about using the floatrow package does not
work, I am receiving errors when both packages are included at the same
time.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Kind regards,
