Fix MikTex missing packages

pdftextex-core

I had to reinstall my system OS last week. (Windows 10)
I had been using Windows 7 and MikTex.
I created my file with TexMaker and before my OS install the preview compiled fine
Now with a brand new install of everything I'm seeing errors that don't make sense when it was working before.

The author of TexMaker suggests there is a problem with the MikTex install

I don't know how to figure out what's missing, would appreciate some help in learning how to track down the problem.

30. Prove analytically that if the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal, then the parallelogram is a rectangle.\\
[Hint: Place the axes as shown in fig 1.10 and show that $\overflow{AC} = \overflow{BD}$ implies that $A$ is the origin]

I'll assume that you meant to say pt, for printer's points.
To recover gracefully from this error, it's best to
delete the erroneous units; e.g., type `2' to delete
two letters. (See Chapter 27 of The TeXbook.)

Best Answer

Your first error is due to this in your code:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
... rectangle.\\
[Hint:... ]

\end{document}

LaTeX assumes the the bracket [ starts the optional argument of \\ and so looks for a number. Add for example an empty brace group to stop this \\{}.

And don't use so many \\, you get tons of underfull box messages in your code (and your output looks rather ugly):
