From the beginner's manual, I created the following:

\starttext

\useexternalfigure
  [Photo][hass03g]
  [width=.4\textwidth]
\useexternalfigure
  [Graphic][gracht]
  [width=.4\textwidth]
\placefigure
  [here,force]
  [fig:canal]
  {The Hasselt Canals.}
  \startcombination[2*1]
  {\externalfigure[Photo]}   {a bitmap picture}
  {\externalfigure[Graphic]} {a vector graphic}
  \stopcombinatie

\stoptext


I typed the input file exactly as in the manual.  I am getting the following 
error:

! Missing { inserted.

Apparently, I need a pair of curly braces around the \startcombination and 
\stopcombination.  Also the beginner Manual has a type that says 
\stopcombinatie instead of \stopcombination.

Do I have an older version of ConTEXt than what the manual says?

That's because you use \placefigure - it must know what your figure is.
