I am having the same problem that Brian describes.  Here is a complete
minimal example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{tiger.eps}
\end{document}

When I open the resulting dvi I get the following error:

If I copy the dvi to a directory not under My Documents, it opens fine.  I
didn't test rigorously to determine whether Brian's conjectured "if and only
if" condition (iff under My Documents) is true, but it fails in one folder
under My Docs and works in one folder not under My Docs.

I encountered this error a few weeks ago when I re-installed MikTeX,
upgrading to the new version.  It also appears that my old .dvi files open
OK, but when I re-compile an old .tex file, the new .dvi file generates this
error.

Thanks in advance for your help.
