Metapost problem

Hi all,

Please consider a file called test.mp, whose contents are:

prologues := 0;
beginfig(1)
   dotlabel.top(btex $A$ etex,(0,0));
endfig;
end

I have MiKTeX (64-bits version) installed in three different machines. 
In one of them, if I run

mpost test.mp

all goes well. But in the other two, I get this error message:

This is MetaPost, version 1.999 (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit) (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit)

**test

 >> test.mp

! ! Unable to read mpx file.
l.3   dotlabel.top(btex
                         $A$ etex,(0,0));
The two files given above are one of your source files
and an auxiliary file I need to read to find out what your
btex..etex blocks mean. If you don't know why I had trouble,
try running it manually through MPtoTeX, TeX, and DVItoMP

Why is it?

Best regards,

José Carlos Santos
