is perl installed (mptopdf.pl is a perl script)
is there an mptopdf.fmt file on your system (the tex related format)

Mptopdf has been missing in a recent context package update.  That bug
is fixed now.  Additionally, there have been several updates for packages

miktex-pdftex-bin    and
miktex-runtime-bin

in the last four days.  Try updating MiKTeX.  For me, mptopdf works well.

Best regards,
