But I'm speculating now. Perhaps it nevertheless works. I really should test MikTeX a bit more (I switched my OS recently). Automated updater has (or at least had) a few problems: - ConTeXt doesn't necessary place the unzipped files into the right directory (it's a bit messy under MikTeX -) - ConTeXt doesn't necessary copy the formats to the proper place I would suggest you to try the following two proposals (first a, then b): a) Make sure that the files were copied into the proper place, you can also try to unzip cont-tfm.zip into C:\Program Files\MikTeX manually. After that, use the "MikTeX Options" or something similar, refresh database, remake formats, refresh database (you have to click a button because "texexec --make" might not be adapted well enough for MikTeX) b) Uninstall the context package and install it again. That way the new context will be deleted and the old one from MikTeX will be installed again. (It might be that after uninstalling some leftovers will remain in the texmf tree - you can also check manually if everything has been deleted.) General remark: on MikTeX it's usually best to run MikTeX's updater (for ctxtools --update there is no reliable uninstaller). If you need the latest and greatest features of ConTeXt, you may run the standalone ConTeXt in parallel. That's what I always did. What appered to work on one distribution sometimes failed on the other (or vice versa). That way I always had a "plan B" when something has failed. Mojca
