By default, you cannot include eps files in latex files complied and built into pdfs. To do so, include the following command in your preamble

\usepackage{epstopdf}

which converts any eps files to pdf before the file is compiled. I encountered some problems after this and had to modify the TeX->PDF commands in TeXNicCenter (hit Alt+F7) so that under “Command line arguments to pass to the complier” read:

--enable-write18 -interaction=nonstopmode "%pm"

Installing TeX and a LaTeX editor on Windows is simple. There are two steps. First, install the TeX packages, DVI reader and more with MiKTeX. Next, download TeXnicCenter, my preferred editor in Windows (just select the TeXnicCenter download). Finally, when installing the TeXnic, make sure that you set the TeX directory as

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.6\miktex\bin
