Best Answer
I get the same same error sometimes. It usually happens after the latex compilation has failed due to an actual code error, say a missing
$or}. I find that deleting the .aux, .blg, .log, .synctex and .tex.bak files from the folder where the .tex file is saved and just re-running latex on the .tex file seems to make the problem disappear. Exact same latex code - no errors.I don't know the source of the error or what the files I delete actually do - just empirical observation and this solution fixes it for me. I'm using WinEdt 6 and MikTex 2.8 on XP
After removing all the ? that appear when I copy and paste your code into my editor, the code you supplied works just fine.
Also you might want to consider removing all that personal information and replacing it with dummy text.
Hope this helps, Good luck.
