To produce pdf output from a latex file, you have to add in the 
beginning of the file two lines: 

\pdfcompresslevel=9
\pdfoutput=1
  
After that, if you type in the Run field of the Start menu 

pdflatex yourfile

where yourfile is the name of your latex file, you get a pdf output.

For more details, see David Meeker's

Also, see the Miktex project page 

http://www.inx.de/~cschenk/miktex/

By the way, at the end of that page you can find the address 
of the MikTex mailing list, probably they can help to solve your 
dvips problem. My dvips (from the MiKTeX 1.09 installation) 
works excellent. 

Thank you, and have nice holidays,
