I am using Windows XP myself. I never experienced the mentioned problem with metapost. What I miss in your error message is the used format like " This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (Web2c 7.3.7x) (mem=metafun 2003.9.25) " Did you generate the metafun format and placed it in e.g. the TeX\texmf-var\web2c directory, mktexlsr?
