Hi all,
 
I am a new user for MikTex and WinEdt. I downloaded MikTex, then WinEdt from a CD from my colleague, then when I tried to run the sample file sample2e.tex, it shows that all packages were not installed. I removed Miktex and downloaded an old one I had it before MikTex 2.7, but the same problem. I looked at the settings ---> packages, but when I put the cursor on any package, the message says not installed. Attached is an error I got when I tried to refresh from the settings page.
 
I don't know if the problem is from the instalation, but I installed the complete Miktex from the site, and just followed the instructions. I don't know what shall I do, and really need to fix the error because I have to start with it.
 
Appreciate your help in advance.
 
Alaa.
