I have an account on SF, but I cannot confirm your problem. I'm running 
exactly the same config as you except that I have Win 2000 Pro. I even 
deleted all the ptm pk-fonts and had no problems regenerating them.

The actually command run is:

 E:\>makepk.exe --verbose ptmr8r 480 600 0+480/600 ljfour
 name: ptmr8r, dpi=480, bdpi=600, mag=0+480/600, mode=ljfour
 makemf --verbose ptmr8r
 cannot find ptmr8r source file.
 ttf2pk -q -n ptmr8r 480
 hbf2gf -q -p ptmr8r 480
 Creating ptmr8r.pk...
 ps2pk -v  -X480  -e 8r.enc utmr8a.pfb ptmr8r.pk

As you see there is no error for me when running ps2pk...
