I've searched through Google and seen several other posts with this exact same error, but I cannot find a resolution that works for me. I downloaded and installed the Windows 7 64-bit Net Installer, and installed the Basic configuration. I then wrote a short four-line test file: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} This is a sample \Latex document. \end{document} and attempted to process it with "pdflatex First.tex". The results I got were: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit) pdflatex: The memory dump file could not be found. pdflatex: Data: pdflatex.fmt After some research, I ran Settings (Admin) and confirmed under the Formats tab that pdflatex is not excluded. I then selected it and clicked on "Build". I got the following: The MiKTeX configuration utility failed. Do you want to see the transcript? I clicked Yes and got: Creating the pdflatex format file... Running miktex-pdftex.exe...

Extensive searching got me nowhere. This is the second time I installed MiKTeX 2.9 (I got the same error the first time, but thought I screwed up the install, so I completely de-installed it and carefully re-installed it following the instructions on the web), and I'm completely lost. Please help! Ray |

Thank you! I did a complete uninstall and re-install to make sure it was clean, and everything is working now! The quick response is greatly appreciated! Thanks again!

I found the source of the problem (the new hyphen.cfg contains the line \def\bbl@hook@loadkernel\bbl@hook@loadpatterns instead of \let\bbl@hook@loadkernel\bbl@hook@loadpatterns) and have notified the author. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Ulrike Fischer |

Thank you. Babel 3.9b was officially announced on CTAN, so I will update the package at the first opportunity. |
