I'm writing an master thesis, and I'm almost finished, but my promoter asked me to allign the table captions to the left, and pictures (figures) captions to the center.
Now I'm in trouble because I need to finish this within 2 days and I can't solve this.
I added the caption package end then all my problems started.
Basically what I figured out is that I have only a problem with figure captions, the table captions work ok.
In the sample provided I cut out all text, left all my style settings (I think they might be causing this, some incompatibility or wrong order?), if You comment out the figure caption it will compile without problems.
Commenting out hyperref doesn't help either.
I'm using Texmaker, and MiKTeX, I updated memoir, hyperref and caption packages (I read here somewhere that they had some compatibility problems that have been resolved)
Below is the MWE, and under it the whole log regarding the caption line:

I've deleted a group-closing symbol because it seems to be
spurious, as in `$x}$'. But perhaps the } is legitimate and
you forgot something else, as in `\hbox{$x}'. In such cases
the way to recover is to insert both the forgotten and the
deleted material, e.g., by typing `I$}'.

I've inserted something that you may have forgotten.

With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you
really didn't forget anything, try typing `2' now; then
my insertion and my current dilemma will both disappear.

I think you don't need to charge
captionpackage because usingmemoircaption formatting options is enough.If you consult chapter
10 Floats and captionsfrommemoirdocumentation will find all commands that you can use to change a particular caption or define new caption styles.As an example, following
\tabcaptioncommand which if it's used as a table caption will print aligned to the left. For figure captions, the regular\captioncommand will be centered. The code for\tabcaptionis based on the example in page 187.
