Okay, somehow I managed to solve my problem. Recall that I used MikTeX 2.1

1. texexec --make --alone metafun

   This generates metafun.mem in %LOCALTEXMF%\miktex\fmt

2. Copy metafun.mem from %LOCALTEXMF%\miktex\fmt to %LOCALTEXMF%\miktex\mem
3. Refresh the filename database (I use the program "MikTeX Options")

That did it for me.

Thanks everyone!

Kris.

When using "texexec --make --alone metafun" to generate
metafun.mem , it must be in your $TEXMF/web2c/
or the current directory.
