I'm sorry I've just changed from fptex to miktex. Therefore I don't know
very much about miktex myself. I was forced to switch because fptex isn't
developed any further by Fabrice. I'd preferred fptex because it was more
tetex like than miktex. Unfortunately I'm not a programmer and don't know
how to compile successfully pdftex on a windows system. But maybe you can
try to run a standalone version of pdftex on
http://pdftex.sarovar.org/djgpp/ (the latest sources of pdfTeX can be found
at http://pdftex.sarovar.org/src). I've attached a how-to by Thanh. When
you run this version it shows you a version number which should not confuse
you -- it's the same as 1.21a actually.

Good luck
