TeX usually prints out some record of what it was doing and posting that 
might make it easier to help. There could be several problems but the 
most likely one is that kpathsea (kpathsearch on Unix) which searches 
the directories/files need a database of locations. This can be generated 
by 

maketexl

(maketexls on Unix) So run the maketexl (both script and binaries are
bundled) and then see if tex finds the required metafont sources, assuming
that they exist on your drive. I have assumed that all this is done on 
DOS hence 8 letter limit

I hope this helps.
