Hmm.  What is the version number on  pdftex.def ?

mine is:
\ProvidesFile{pdftex.def}[2000/11/10 v0.03f graphics/color for pdftex]

By the way, can you be more specific about what "doesn't work as before"
actually means?

Does it mean: "it works -- I see the image, but with different size
 or margins to what I used to get";
or do you just not get any image at all?

My 1st suspicion would fall on the version of  pdftex.def  included
within your teTeX distribution.

The latest, at:
 http://www.tug.org/applications/pdftex/pdftex.def
is:

\ProvidesFile{pdftex.def}[2001/09/01 v0.03h graphics/color for pdftex]

but the change-log entries don't indicate anything relevant to this
problem was done in versions v0.03g or v0.03h.


Hope this helps,
