Hello Hans,
run into trouble again... yesterday I've upgraded MikTeX to 2.4, by the way I've upgraded ConTeXt to the newest version too, but after that I can texexec nothing more. I first tried some chinese texts, but texexec always reported:

No pages of output.
then I tried some english texts, they can be compiled, but in fact nothing has been written to the disk.
before upgrading I've backup-ed the configurations ( texexec.ini, font-chi.tex, cont-system.tex, cont-usr.tex ) and just after extracting new files I've put them back, succeeded with "initexmf -u" and a new "texexec --make", but context just didn't work, though it worked fine before ( with same test files ). I've never thought it could be such a big problem. after several unsuccessful tries I decided to restored the old version, but I even couldn't go back! it seems that context has kept "memory" somewhere to trace the version changes. after 3 hours tired struggle I've lost all the patience and all the hope... I've also heared similar stories from other people, but I just wonder how it could be a trouble to upgrade a package like context?
Best regards,
Minchao

Did you regenerate your formats?
If no, do it.
Did you install MiKTeX's own ConTeXt package?
If yes, remove it (Before regenerating the ConTeXt format)

what file has the \c!richting?
from now on context is low level english, so either that file is a wrong
one, or you need to change '\c!richting=\v!links' into \c!direction=\v!left'

Hello,
I've done all the things I can, but it just doesn't work, as the final result now I can use the old version, and very possibly I'll stay with it. anyway thanks a lot for all the quick replies!
Greetings,
Minchao
