Hello,

I'm having issues after reinstalling both MikTex and TexStudio, having uninstalled them before. Apparently TexStudio cannot find the required packages from the repository. I currently have MikTex 2.9 installed. Something must have gotten messed up when I uninstalled both of these programs before. I'm also unable to find the repository from which TexStudio usually retrieves its packages.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    This is not TeXstudio but MikTeX. Also, it's not messed up.

    You've simple not chosen the full install of MikTeX but only a basic installation with the most common packages. Now, when pdflatex encounters a not-installed package during compilation, it will ask you if you want to install that package (the dialog you've shown).

    You can safely click install here, and you won't get the message again for that package, but of course anew for every other missing package. There's also an option in the MikTeX settings to control the behavior.
