I had a similar problem creating formats and Ulrike Fischer made the suggestion which fixed the problem. From MiKTeX-Users Digest, Vol 54, Issue 1: My miktex 2.9. doesn't show the etex engine in the entry of latex and there are no updates waiting. Did you add local roots from older miktex versions to your miktex 2.9? If yes check if they contain an outdated formats.ini. -- Ulrike Fischer I had added MiKTeX as a local root (probably not a good idea!) - so the problem was resolved when I renamed the [2.7] formats.ini.
